AT BOXFORD NURSERY (East Boxford, P. O.), on the 
Georfjctown branch of the B. & M. R. H., may be seen growing 
the clioicest coUcotion of specimen nursery stock, selected for the 
most (liscriminatinK buyers. Special attention is given to hardy 
native phints. which must always be the basis of successful perma- 
nent plantiiiKS. 
SPECIMEN STOCK. There is a growing demand for fine 
specimen stock in Conifers, Rhododendrons, Kalmias, 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 cjuality of stock sent out. Few 
realize that the real value of nursery stock is largely underground. 
Frequent transplanting, and handling specimens with adequate, 
burlapcd balls, means success and quick results. It costs more, but 
it is the fixed policy of the Boxford Nursery; and "cheap" stock will 
not be handled or sent out. The best Is always the cheapest. 
HIGHLANDS NURSERY SHIPMENTS are made from 
Pirieola, N. C, freight station, atiti prices in this list are made on 
this basis. Freight and express rates gladly quoted. Via Norfolk 
steamship lines, deliveries to northern and eastern points arc quick 
and rates are low. 
SHIPMENTS OF "COLLECTED" RHODODENDRON 
MAXIMUM and EALMIAS are from my spe<-ial fields in Penn- 
sylvania anil the .South, depending on destination and ijuality of 
stock desired. The best clumps come from the South, from high 
altitudes. "Collected" Rhododendron catawbiense comes only 
from the South. 
MY NURSERIES ARE UNIQUE, being the first to grow Native 
.American OrnanLciitals, and having the only large and complete 
stock of Hardy .American Plants in existence. 
SHIPPING BEGINS IN AUGUST, when I send out large 
Hliixlodciidrcns, Kalmias, and other evergreens, and bulbs and 
herbaceous plants, general stock going out in October and Novem- 
ber; and in sjiring from about March 1 to May 15. Give shipping 
instructions, unless you wish to leave it to me, when I use my brat 
judgment, but assume no risk. 
EXPORT SHIPMENTS reach the most remote countries in 
erfect condition. I have exported 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 Siicccssfull.v." 
VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. Boxford Nursery is 
easily reached by train or automobile, and Mr. Kelsey will be glad 
to meet prospective customers at the nursery by appointment. 
A visit to Boxford Nursery during the blooming season of Rho- 
dodendrons and Azaleas is especially worth while.
