Entrance Gateway to Moons' 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 able 

 I 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 



IV^IT Morrisville, Pa., which is just across 

 Wa\ the Delaware River from Trenton, X. J., 

 iLpUj we have nurseries of Four Hundred and 

 Fift}' 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- 

 three years, but the Moon family started selling 

 nursery stock one hundred and forty-eight 

 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 \ou ma\- want, 

 it's no little satisfaction to feel 

 that "Moons' likel\- have it." 

 This means much to you, es- 

 pecially when ordering during 

 the Spring rush, when ever\ 

 dav counts. 



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 dela\ s 

 one's planting.

Assortment of Varieties 



1|F \ou 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 different varie- 

 ties of trees and shrubbery. Vou would be 

 thoroughly convinced of the appropriate title 



It will be noticed that the 

 location of our nurseries is 

 directly opposite Trenton, .N. J. 



Ample Growing Space 



jjOU would have particularly noticed that 

 the stock was not crowded. Frequent 



transplantings and wide spacing have 



given each specimen ample room to spread out 

 as well as grow up. 



Superior Roots 



F \ou had chanced u|)oii 

 some of our men when 

 they were digging shrubs 

 or trees, you would have noticed 

 what exceptionalK' 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 developed "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 

 n^ots possess has not dried away from being out 

 of ground over Winter, or otherwise subjected 

 to long exposure.
