Foreword 
]HIRTY-SIX  years  ago,  William  H.  Moon  started  the  Glenwood  Nurseries  with  twenty 
acres  of  trees ;  today  we  own  and  operate  upwards  of  three  hundred  acres.  At  first  there 
were  a  few  local  customers,  now  we  have  thousands  of  patrons,  and  "  Moon's  Trees  "  are 
growing  in  every  state  and  territory  of  the  Union.  The  raising  of  trees  and  shrubs  for  orna- 
mental purposes  has  always  been  our  specialty.  Our  assortment  is  unsurpassed  ;  it  now 
contains  upwards  of  eighteen  hundred  different  varieties — the  best  exotic  and  native  sorts.  We  know 
that  people  do  not  want  weak,  inferior  or  diseased  plants  to  eke  out  an  existence  on  their  lawns  or  to 
contaminate  the  ones  that  they  already  have.  Through  the  year  forces  of  men  are  busily  engaged  going 
about  our  Nurseries  giving  needed  attention  to  our  stock.  The  trimming  and  training  of  our  trees  to 
make  straight  stems  and  bushy,  symmetrical  heads  is  diligently  attended  to.  The  frequent  cultivation 
of  the  soil  about  the  roots  and  fertilizing  of  such  plants  as  need  food  is  regularly  done  to  keep  our  stock 
in  strong,  healthy,  growing  condition.  A  vigilant  lookout  is  at  all  times  kept  for  the  attacks  of  disease 
and  insects,  and  every  effort  is  used  to  rid  our  stock  of  such  injurious  pests.  Quality  is  paramount  with 
us ;  to  raise  the  very  choicest  Nursery  products,  our  aim. 
Evergreens  are  our  leading  specialty.  Just  about  all  the  varieties  that  can  be  grown  in  this  lati- 
tude are  in  stock.  There  are  also  many  handsome  individual  specimens  that  will  produce  an  immediate 
effect.  Nowhere  else  is  such  a  collection  of  evergreens  to  be  found.  Ornamental  Trees,  Deciduous 
Shrubs,  Hardy  Roses,  Decorative  Vines  and  Old-fashioned  Perennial  Plants  are  grown  in  lavish  quan- 
tities and  profusion  of  variety.   Some  plant  for  every  place  and  purpose  can  be  found  in  our  collection. 
The  getting  together  of  such  a  stock  has  required  years  of  careful,  persistent  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  Nurseries 
on  any  day  except  the  Sabbath.  A  much  bet- 
ter idea  of  our  stock  can  be  gained  in  this 
way  than  from  the  most  explicit  descriptive 
catalogue.
