Showiii;. > inntm supplied by me jfrowiiiK at "Greystone," Yonkers, N. Y., 
the estate ol S>tniutl UnttniiytT, Esq. Out of thirty carloads collected and shipped by us to this 
estate last sprin^r, there was practically no lOSS. Photograph taken September, igoi, about four 
months after planting. 
The use of collected Rhododendrons add Kalmias for quickly and permanently pro- 
ducing fine landscape effects is now well established, and with any reasonable expenditure 
there is no other possible way to obtain the results to be had by the use of these magnifi- 
cent hardy broad-leaved evergreens. We have been in the business of collecting and 
growing Rhododendrons, Kalmias, Azaleas and other hardy American plants for sixteen 
years, and our sources of supply are not only unexcelled but the long experience of our 
employees renders a commission placed in our hands peculiarly safe. 
Our suppl)' and advantages t>eing unlimited, we are prepared to accept orders for fall 
or spring delivery, with an assurance of prompt service and satisfactory material that 
must give good results. 
In carload lots we collect .sizes from 2 feet to to feet in height 'with corresponding 
diameter; the number to the car. say forty or fifty to three or four hundred, depends 
entirely on the size. We are glad to give prices and all information possible to prospective 
purchasers, ai'd specially invite corre.^pondence on the subject from Landscape Architects, 
Park Superintendents and Boards and Estates. 
Leucothoe catesbaei, Galax aphylla, and the rare Rhododendron catawbiense 
from the Carolina mountains we also collect by the carload, but the peculiar conditions of 
distance from railroads to plant statioi s, and rather heavy freight rates, make their use more 
limited to the producing of finer finished effects in connection with Rhododendron maxi- 
mum and Kalmia lalijo/ia. or with other planting. The foliage effects of these broad- 
leaved evergreens is bevond comparison, the leaves being rich in color, and excepting 
Rhodndeiidion catawbieiise turning brilliant bronze tints in fall and winter. Full infor- 
mation for the asking. Addrc-s all communications to
