AUTUMN OF 1901. 



Clioice NoTelties, special varieties and fine Specimen Trees 



will be found in the Supplomental List. This stock was selected from a personal inspection 

 of the Ijest planting material In Europe the present season, and is confidently recommended 

 as liliely to prove most salisfactory in all private and public grounds where the finer Trees 

 and Hardy Shrubs are appreciated ; as also the larger sizes for immediate effect. 



Tliis abridged Catalogue includes only a partial list of the finer Trees and Hardy 

 Plants; Street Trees; Collections of the best Shrubs, Roses, the finest hardy Azaleas, Ehodo- 

 dendrons; trained Fruit Trees, Foreign Grape Vines, etc. For more complete lists, 



descriptions, etc., see General Catalogue No. 46, for 1901. 



Autumn Plantinss:> — Fall planting in many places is desirable. Even in the severe 

 climate of New England many prefer Autumn to Spring planting. There is more time to do the 

 work properly. The tree or shrub is in condition for immediate growth in Spring. Nearly all 

 deciduous trees and shrubs can be advantageously shipped and transplanted in Autumn; also 

 Lilies, Herbaceous Plants and hardy Roses in the open ground. Japanese Maples, Rhododen- 

 drons and hardy Azaleas are also advantageously planted in the Fall. 



I^ow Prices. — There is a limited supply or scarcity and higher prices for many kinds of 

 trees, and other hardy stock, with many nurseries at the present time. Mt Prices, however, 



BEMAIN AS HERETOFOEE — THE LOWEST KATES POSSIBLE FOR GOOD STOCK, TRUE TO XAME AND 



OF RELIABLE QtTALiTY axd CONDITION. For the Same size and grade plants, the prices for all 

 stock are as low or lower than obtainable from any other responsible establishment. Special 

 low prices are noted in Surplus List on page 19, or quoted on stock in quantity, per 100 or 



1000, or in CARLOAD LOTS. 



Particular Attention is given to furnishing large lists and large quantities in one 

 ORDER COMPLETE AND ON LOWEST TERMS. Early ordcrs secure first selections, complete 

 assortments and best prices. 



Transportation Rates. — Under the Trunk Line Classification, Trees and Hardy 

 Plants, properly packed in cases, are forwarded "3d Class," thus making low freight charges, 

 and the leading Express Companies forward to points anywhere in the United States at a 

 reduction of 20 per cent. (20%) below schedule rates. 



Planting Plans. — Having some familiarity with the best landscape improvements in 

 the large country estates and public parks, both in this country and in Europe, I am always glad 

 to confer regarding planting plans and the landscape treatment desired. I do not, however, 

 assume to be a landscape architect or prepare plans— artistic work requiring special knowledge 

 and skill, for which nurserymen who assume landscape architecture are seldom qualified. 



Oardeners' Positions. — I have always on my books a list of competent managers, 

 head gardeners and assistant gardeners, such as can be recommended as reliable and trust- 

 worthy, for filling these positions satisfactorily. There is no charge for registering or for this 

 service ; the pleasure or satisfaction from a country estate depending as it does so largely upon 

 loyal competent service in the gardening department.
