Entrance Gateway to Moon's Nurseries. 



Facts of First Importance 



^HAT you want to know at the very start is: Why should you buy your plants, shrubs 

 or trees of this Company in preference to others? Is our stock any better? Are we 

 I able to give you superior service? 



That our stock is better, the service we give superior, and the prices reasonable, will be further 

 apparent to you from even a brief scan of what follows. 



Size and Location of Nurseries 



T Morrisville, Pa., which is just across the 

 Delaware River from Trenton, N. J., we 

 have nurseries of Four Hundred and Fifty 

 acres that are devoted entirely to the growing 

 of Ornamental Trees, Shrubbery and Hardy 

 Plants for Every Place and Purpose. These 

 nurseries have been established for forty-two 

 years, but the Moon family started selling 

 nursery stock one hundred and forty-seven 

 years ago. A striking feature of them is the 

 assortment of over 2,000 varieties; and a wide 

 range of sizes from which to choose. The 

 wonderful fertility of this soil of ours produces 

 a stock of great vigor and uniform devel- 

 opment. Nearly all our output is raised in 

 these nurseries and freshly dug for each order. 

 We maintain no storage cellar 

 for preserving our stock in 

 Winter. 



Whatever you may want, 

 it's no little satisfaction to feel 

 that "Moon's likely have it." 

 This means much to you, es- 

 pecially when ordering during 

 the Spring rush, when every 

 day counts. 



Assortment of Varieties 



F you should walk up and 

 down the hundreds of 

 rows of plants in our 

 nurseries, until you had been 

 over them all, you would have 

 gone considerably more than 

 nine hundred miles and seen 

 some two thousand or more difiPerent varie- 

 ties of trees and shrubbery. You would be 

 thoroughly convinced of the appropriate title 



of this catalogue, "Hardy Trees and Plants 

 for Every Place and Purpose." In such a 

 collection there is the possibility of getting 

 direct from us the entire assortment for the 

 smallest or largest plantings. This overcomes 

 the disadvantage of numerous small shipments 

 coming from different places, which delays 

 one's planting. 



Ample Growing Space 



OU would have particularly noticed that 

 the stock was not crowded. Frequent 

 transplantings and wide spacing have 

 each specimen ample room to spread 



given 



out as well as grow up

you 



It will be noticed that the location 

 of our nurseries is directly oppo- 

 site Trenton, N. J. 



F you had chanced upon 

 some of our men when they 

 werediggingshrubsor trees, 

 would have noticed what 

 exceptionally large masses of 

 fibrous feeding roots each plant 

 possessed, instead of the coarse, 

 long ones which result from lack 

 of transplanting or root training. 

 The foreman would have pointed 

 out to you that this highly devel- 

 oped "root system," as he calls 

 it, has much to do with successful 

 transplanting and quick growth. 

 Every order is freshly dug. 

 This assures you that the virile 

 strength that the roots possess has not dried 

 away from being out of ground over Winter, 

 or otherwise subjected to long exposure.
