ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT 
Although still greatly neglected in many places, the people of all sections in city, 
town and country are awakening to the fact that the town lot and farm yard, as well as 
the country villa, is of greater value when attractively planted with a judicious selection 
of ornamentals; that an investment of hardy trees, shrubs, roses and plants used in beau- 
tifying the home grounds and street, returns a greater interest in actual cash value than 
is possible with an outlay of similar amount in almost any other way, to say nothing of 
the added beauty, the increased comfort and health of the occupants. 
Hardy trees and shrubs can now be obtained at moderate cost, that will stand the 
extremes of temperature and soil of nearly all sections; judicious selection will obtain 
deciduous and evergreen trees that make beautiful specimens the year through, deciduous 
trees and shrubs giving constant succession of bloom through the season, while the purple, 
variegated leaved and weeping forms are always ready for variety and contrast.
