2 J. W. ADAMS & CO., SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 
Springfield is the Central Station of the 
Boston and Albany Railroad, on the New York Central 
line. It is the terininns of the New Wnk and New Haven 
Railroad, of the New 'S'ork and New ICiigland, and of the 
Boston and Maine. By these roads we can ship trees and 
plants in all directions without change or delay. 
The American E.\press and the Adams R.xpress deliver 
all orders at our office twice daily. 
This Season has been one of frequent showers, with 
no lack of moisture at any time. With clean cultivation in 
every one of our various Nurseries, all of our trees and 
plants ha\e made a fine growth. 111-sliaped and second- 
rate trees have been rooted out, land here being too 
e.xpensive to be encumbered by any trees but the best we 
can produce. No vacant spaces allowed.
