It is worthy of notice that this is not an ordinary catalogue, such as generally sent out, describing a few 
articles with doubtful accuracy; but a carefully arranged Manual, embracing only the choicest selections, the results 
of years of experience. 
This edition includes principally Plants cultivated under glass, quite a few of which, however, are valuable 
also for outdoor decorations in Summer. We if sue a separate and special Handbook entitled, " The Beautifying of 
Country Homes," which gives a full list of Hardy Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Evergreens, Vines and Hardy 
Perennial Plants for permanent planting, a copy of which will be supplied upon application. 
THE ROSE HILL NURSERIES 
'1 he Rose Hill Nurseries is the most complete horticultural establishment in the world. From these 
Nurseries, a new country place or a gentleman's estate can be furnished completely with every kind and variety of 
stock, in sizes and quality to give immediate effect. Every known plant or tree in cultivation can be furnished 
direct from our Nurseries. 
GREENHOUSES AND CONSERVATORIES 
Our stock of plants for the furnishing and filling of these is unexcelled. We can supply every known 
variety of plant of ornamental and decorative value, m Palms, Ferns, Orchids and Ornamental Foliage Plants 
enumerated in this catalogue, and many others which are not mentioned. 
LANDSCAPE CONTRACTING DEPARTMENT 
In this important branch, we have a staff of able, experienced men of thorough knowledge, taste and genius, 
whose schemes and plans are based upon the most practical and natural, as well as artistic lines. 
PLANTING ORNAMENTAL STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE EFFECT 
Our specimen stock of large and matured Shade Trees for avenues. Evergreens for solitary specimens or for 
groups, large flowering Shrubs for plantations and decorative plantmgs, also material for Old-fashioned Gardens, is 
especially cultivated and trained for such purposes. In fruit trees and small fruit we have a particularly fine, 
healthy stock of this very important line, for orchards and fruit gardens, in all the different forms of Standard, Half- 
Standard, Trained Pyramid and Espalier, in all the leading varieties ; also Grape Vines for arbors and small fruit of 
all the choicest varieties, of mature age, which will give an early yield of fruit. 
THE PRESERVATION OF TREES 
The practical and efficient preservation of Fruit, as well as Ornamental Trees, is of the greatest importance. 
Trees do not grow in a day, month, or year. It takes the best part of a life-time to raise a tree to mature size and 
value and, therefore, we cannot afford to lose even one of them. Trees, like animals, require care and attention to 
preserve them and keep them in vigorous and healthy condition. Neglected trees, even if old, can, by proper 
renovating, pruning, scraping, cleaning and spraying, be made to live and do well for many years. 
Our experience of over forty years in Pomology, Entomology and Forestry enables us to effectually and 
successfully carry on such work. With our practical method of treatment we have saved thousands of trees from 
untimely death and decay. 
Our "Sure-Kill" Emulsion for the exttrmination of insects, especially the San Josl- Scale, is a positive 
remedy. Examinations of orchards and ornamental trees are made by us upon application, and estimatei for treat- 
ment submitted. No charge for consultation. 
THE MOVING AND TRANSPLANTING OF BIG TREES 
We are closely identified with the American Big Tree Moving Company and, therefore, are enabled 
to undertake successfully the furnishing, moving and transplanting of trees of any size from 6 to 36 inches caliper, 
and from 20 to 60 feet high. 
RUSTIC WORK 
We are the oldest and largest manufacturers of Rustic Work in this country. Our artistic workers in this 
line will readily demonstrate their skill where opportunity is afforded ; sketches and designs can be submitted. 
ROCK WORK 
We are the sole agents for the very valuable petrified TufFa Rock, which is of a highly artistic formation, 
thoroughly porous, which makes it very valuable for plant life. 
Our artists in Rock Work construction and the building of Rock Gardens and Grottoes, are conceded to be 
the very best.
