NEW VARIETIES 
We are constantly adding to our list of ornamentals, as well as in other departments. Before 
placing new varieties on the market, we give them a thoiough trial in the nursery, and thus weed 
out undesirable varieties, offering only the best in each class. 
VARIETIES NOT LISTED 
In every large, well-conducted nursery there are many varieties of extra size, but in too small 
•quantities to list in the catalogue; also new varieties which have not been thoroughly tested. If 
you wish any variety in a special size or variety not listed, write to us for special quotations, and 
if we have it in stock, we shall be pleased to supply.
