A landscape in which Moon's'.Trees have^been extensively used. — The late Daniel Langdon, Landscape Architect 



The enjoyment and recreation that are possible from 



planting Trees and Shrubbery are being realized to a constantly 

 increasing degree. Among all the fads and fancies which beset those who 

 have more or less leisure none is so fascinating as that of Landscape Garden- 

 ing. He or she (for it is essentially suited to feminine taste and talent) 

 finds himself, or herself, engrossed in its possibilities, fascinated with 

 the results, interested in the failures, determined to succeed. It is a 

 pastime that develops order out of chaos, grows on the imagina- 

 tion and fosters artistic instinct to a remarkable degree. The smallest 

 area and the most hopeless landscape are susceptible to improvement. 

 Even unlikely places will produce something attractive. Bare city yard, 

 suburban property, country estate, all offer possibilities to the "seeing 

 eye," and may be developed from apparently hopeless conditions into 

 beautiful places in which the owner may rightly have pride and pleasure, 

 as well as adding a permanently accumulative value to his property. 



Things You Should Know About This Nursery 



"Moon's Hardy Trees and Plants for Every Place and Purpose" seems 

 a fitting title under which to describe briefly some of the many varieties of 

 our evergreens, trees, shrubs, vines and the old but recently popularized 

 Perennials. Our long experience, our constant observation, our wide 

 acquaintance and large correspondence, the comments of patrons and 

 inquiries of visitors have all had their influence in compiling this catalog. 

 A constantly increasing business for forty-one years encourages us in the 

 belief that our carefully grown stock is meeting a public need. We are 

 careful in propagating. Breeders of the best live stock emphasize pedigree, 

 and so do we. We are careful in growing. Our soil is good and being 

 made better by proper culture and fertilizing, so as to insure a rapid, healthy 

 growth. A large force of men give watchfulness and care to training, 

 pruning and frequent transplanting; this last is of great importance, 

 to induce the formation of a mass of fibrous roots close to the plant, which 

 insures the best and quickest results when the trees are set permanently.
