CLIBRANS’ SELECTIONS OF TREES AND SHRUBS, 1909-10. 
Tinted Autumn Foliage. 
We desire to draw special attention to the selection of Trees and Shrubs, named on this and 
the following pages. These selections are made for a precise object and should enable those of 
our clients not acquainted with the varieties, to order the best kinds for any specific purpose or 
situation from the whole range of cultivated Tree and Shrub life. In gardening practice there 
is a surprising need of original work and experiment, and too much of doing things in the 
common way. Probably this arises from, in many cases, want of close observation and lack of 
enthusiasm in our advisers; so much of the advice given being from what we have heard or 
read, and not from personal work and experiment. We hope these collections will, from that 
point of view, be of use to our clients; although we do not affirm every variety offered in, 
say the collections for autumn foliage will in all places and positions colour brilliantly, or that 
there will be no failures amongst the Trees and Shrubs for planting under Trees. Density of 
shade, dryness and sort of soil, purity of atmosphere, all affect the well-being greatly. 
Gardening necessarily is to a great extent experimental, and these lists give the best sorts 
to experiment with, for any particular purpose.
