^he  Horticultural  Jlrt  Booli 
Is  an  annual  publication  presented  with  the  compliments  of  The  Wm.  H.  Moon  Company  to  customers  and 
other  interested  horticulturists.    It  is  not  only  a  catalogue  of  the  productions  of  the 
OBlenlDoob  ^ursferiesf 
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  cer- 
tain varieties  and  is  intended  to  combine  in  a  condensed  form  all  the  information  regarding  hardy  trees, 
shrubs,  vines  and  other  items  listed  herein,  w^hich  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  because 
rare  or  odd. 
The  collection,  propagation  and  growth  of  such  a  stock  has  thus  required  many  years  of  careful,  per- 
sistent research  and  toil;  for  we  have  striven  for  superiority  of  quality  and  genuineness  of  variety  in  all 
branches  of  our  trade,  and  we  now  invite  your  inspection  of  our  nursery  of  upward  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  Glenwood  Nurseries  were  established 
thirty-two  years  ago,  and  have  so  increased  their 
plant  and  production  as  to  now  rank  as  the  lead- 
ing ornamental  nursery  in  the  United  States, 
carrying  many  lines  of  choice  ornamentals,  es- 
pecially evergreens,  and  the  largest  assortment 
of  American-grown  acclimated  specimen  trees. 
The  adaptability  of  our  land  insures  a  vigorous, 
healthy  foliage  and  fine  fibrous  root  system. 
The  map  shows  the  central  location  of  the 
Glenwood  Nurseries,  near  Morrisville,  Bucks 
County,  Pa.,  on  the  line  of  the  Pennsylvania 
railroad.  They  are  about  one  mile  from  Tren- 
ton, N.  J.,  thirty  miles  from  Philadelphia,  and 
sixty  miles  from  New  York,  and  are  accessible 
by  either  the  Pennsylvania  railroad  (New  York 
Division)  or  the  Bound  Brook  route  to  Trenton, 
N.  J.,  where  carriages  can  always  be  obtained  at 
the  depot.  The  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania 
Traction  Company's  trolleys  pass  our  Nurseries, 
They  leave  Warren  and  Hanover  streets,  Tren- 
ton, N.  J.,  and  all  cars  for  Yardley,  Pa.,  pass  our 
Nurseries  about  fifteen  minutes  after  leaving 
Trenton.
