The  Horticultural  Art  Book 
Is  an  annual  publication  presented  with  the  compliments  of  Thk  \Vm.  H.  Moon  Company  to 
customers  and  other  interested  horticulturists.    It  is  not  only  a  catalogue  of  the  productions  of  the 
(SlentoooD  Jfl3ut0ene0 
containing  varieties,  sizes  and  prices,  but  it  is  an  Art  Book,  illustrating  individual  trees  and  shrubs, 
as  well  as  showing  the  results  obtainable  with  our  products,  when  placed  under  the  skill  of  our 
Landscape  Experts.  It  is  also  a  handbook  containing  descriptions  of  the  character  of  growth, 
color  of  flower  or  fruit,  and  adaptability  to  location  or  effect  to  be  produced.  It  contains  notes 
regarding  hardiness  of  certain  varieties  and  is  intended  to  combine  in  a  condensed  form  all  the 
information  regarding  Hardy  Trees,  Shrubs,  Vines,  and  other  items  listed  herein,  as  will  enable 
the  seeker  after  knowledge  of  this  character  to  intelligently  select  such  varieties  as  will  produce 
desired  results. 
Nevertheless,  we  do  not  recommend  everything  in  this  book  as  being  the  very  best  or 
most  desirable  for  everybody.  Some  varieties  are  best  adapted  to  certain  localities ;  others 
are  singular  or  grotesque  specimens  of  plant  growth,  admired  by  many  and  wanted  by  only  a  few. 
But  it  is  our  business  to  cater  to  all  tastes,  and  therefore  it  is  necessary  to  enumerate  many 
things  which  are  valued  especially  be- 
cause rare  or  odd. 
The  collection,  propagation  and 
growth  of  such  a  stock  has  thus  re- 
quired many  years  of  careful,  persistent 
research  and  toil  ;  for  we  have  striven 
for  superiority  of  quality  and  genuine- 
ness of  variety  in  all  branches  of  our 
trade,  and  we  now  invite  your  inspec- 
tion of  our  Nursery  of  upwards  of  three 
hundred  acres  on  any  day  except  the 
Sabbath.  A  much  better  idea  of  our 
stock  can  be  obtained  in  this  way 
than  from  the  most  explicit  descriptive 
catalogue. 
The  Glen  wood  Nurseries  were  es- 
tablished thirty-two  years  ago  and  have 
so  increased  their  plant  and  production 
as  to  now  rank  as  the  leading  Ornamen- 
tal Nursery  in  the  United  States  ;  car- 
rying many  lines  of  choice  ornamentals, 
especially  Evergreens  and  the  largest 
assortment  of  American-grown  accli- 
mated specimen  trees.  The  adaptability 
of  our  land  insures  a  vigorous,  healthy 
foliage  and  fine  fibrous  root  system.

of  the  Glenwood  Nurseries,  near  Mor-
