CUBRANS’ 
Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Conifers, 
Climbers, &c. 
T HE charming effects that can be obtained by the judicious selection and 
planting of the many ornamental trees and shrubs are apparently without 
limit. The great diversity in form and outline of growth, the variation 
in colouration of the flowers and the seasons when they are produced, 
the many beautiful berries by which so many of them are succeeded, the evergreen 
and deciduous character of the foliage, all form an illimitable source of beauty 
from which the loveliest pictures can be evolved. 
Though the value of these beautiful subjects is certainly better appreciated 
than formerly, there is every reason to believe that their popularity will still further 
extend. 
This is as it should be, and nothing can give the true lover of nature more 
satisfaction than to see the lovely forms of trees and shrubs she so bountifully 
provides, appreciated at their proper value. 
It is continually our aim and desire to make our collection of these subjects 
as complete and comprehensive of all that is beautiful and best, as is possible. 
In the following pages will be found the best and most ornamental representatives 
of the many families ; there are others that we do not include, owing perhaps to 
some weakness of constitution or other character that renders them unsuitable 
for general cultivation. Our purpose has been to bring together all those that are 
most desirable and can be relied upon to thrive well, if given ordinary care and 
attention. 
Our stock of Trees, Shrubs, and Hardy Woody Plants in general, have never been 
in better condition than they are now. Perfect development, well ripened, and 
splendidly rooted, correctly named, free from all pests and disease, they are in an 
ideal condition for removal and cannot fail, if given ordinary care and attention, 
to give complete satisfaction to our customers. The fact that our open ground 
nurseries cover 350 acres, and that our sales are annually increasing, is proof that 
our efforts to supply the highest quality in Trees, Shrubs, and allied plants, at 
moderate prices, has met, and continues to meet with the best of all appreciations, 
viz., “ repeat orders.” 
We have always made it a point, and shall continue to do so, to give every 
facility to our customers or prospective customers, if they so desire, to inspect 
oar stocks. In our opinion, nothing is so satisfactory or so convincing to the purchaser 
as having the opportunity of inspecting the goods before buying. We welcome 
inspection, and shall at all times be pleased to send a conveyance either to Hale 
or Altrincham Station to meet any of our friends, upon receiving intimation a few 
posts in advance of their arrival. 
An Index of all the plants included in this List will be found at the end. Many species 
and varieties not included can be supplied. We invite enquiries for any plants that may 
not be found herein. 
Extra size specimens of Trees and Shrubs can be supplied. Prices and full particulars 
will be gladly furnished on receipt of notification of subjects desired.
