AT BOXFORD NURSERY (East Boxford, P. O.). on the 
Georgetown branch of the B. & M. R. R., may be seen growing 
the choicest collection of specimen nursery stock, selected for the 
most discriminating buyers. Special attention is given to hardy 
native plants, which must always be the basis of successful perma- 
nent plantings. 
SPECIMEN STOCK. There is a growing demand for fine 
specimen stock in Conifers, Rhododendrons, Kafmias, Andromedas, 
and other evergreens, and Boxford Nursery is established to supply 
this need. 
Landscape architects, park and cemetery superintendents, and 
the owners of large estates will find it of great advantage to visit 
Boxford Nursery and personally select material in the nursery row. 
PRICES are made to fit the quality of stock sent out. Few 
realize that the real value of nursery stock is largely underground. 
Frequent transplanting, and handling specimens with adequate, 
burlaped balls, mean success and quick results. It costs more, but 
it is the fixed policy of the Boxford Nursery; and "cheap" stock will 
not be handl(!d or sent out. The best is always the cheapest. 
HIGHLANDS NURSERY SHIPMENTS are made from 
Pineola, N. C, freight station, and prices in this list are made on 
this basis. Freight and express rates quoted on request. Via Norfolk 
steamship lines, deliveries to northern and eastern points are quick 
and rates arc low. 
SHIPMENTS OF "COLLECTED" RHODODENDRON 
MAXIMUM and KALMIAS are from my special fields in Penn- 
sylvania and the South, depending on destination and quality of 
stock desired. The best clumps come from tlie South, from high 
altitudes. '^Collected*' Rhododendron catawbiense comes only 
from the South. 
MY NURSERIES ARE UNIQUE, being the first to grow Native 
American Ornamentals, and having the only large and complete 
stock of Hardy American Plants in existence. 
SHIPPING BEGINS IN AUGUST, when I send out large 
Rhododendrons, Kalntias. and other evergreens, and bulbs and 
herbaceous plants, general stock going out in October and Novem- 
ber; and in spring from about March 1 to May 15. Give shipping 
instructions, unless you wish to leave it to me, when I use my best 
judgment, but assume no risk. 
EXPORT SHIPMENTS reach the most remote countries in 
Eerfect condition, I have e.vi)orted for over twenty-five years, and 
now how to pack. Quarantine and the great war, however, have 
left open practically only Holland and Great Britain to our 
shipments. 
DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGS, illustrated, are mailed on request, 
and advice on the right way to grow Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and 
other native plants is gladly given. Send for "How to Grow Rho- 
dodendrons Successfully." 
VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. Boxford Nursery is 
easily reached by train or automobile, and .Vlr. Kelsey will be glad 
to meet prospective customers at the nursery by appointment. 
,\ visit to Boxford Nursery during the blooming season of Rho- 
dodendrons and Azaleas is especially worth while.
