We would 'like to call the attention of the readers of this book to the use of the Lombardy Poplars 

 for background and screening purposes as illustrated on the front cover. These trees lend dignity and 

 distinction to a landscape in a shorter space of time than will any other variety and they have a charac- 

 teristic quality that is unique. For price and description see page 3. 



Please note the el|ective shrubbery planting and the use of Spirea Billardi as a hedge plant. Spirea 

 Billardi is illustrated riiore clearly on the back cover. We cannot commend it too strongly to our pa- 

 trons for massed or for specimen planting. See page 12 for price and description. 



Spirea Van' Houttiris one of the most graceful of the flowering shrubs and will do well in any sit- 

 uation. We have an especially fine line of this stock in all sizes. See page 12 for price and description. 



Edith is quite the= iiiost beautiful of the German Iris. You can get an idea, of the massed effect as 

 well as of the single- blossom, from the illustration on the back cover of this book. See page 15 for 

 price and description. 



Everbearing St. Regis Raspberries yield full crops of delicious fruit from June until October. 

 Note the firm character of the berries, making it one of the best shipping varieties. See page 23 for 

 price and description.

 in making this special mixture are only those that are well adapted for growing in the shade. It has

 shaded by old trees. If you have shady, barren places in your lawn, try our Shady Nook Mixture. By
