The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
HARDY ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS. 
This class includes the loveliest and most charming trees for the garden, pleasure grounds, shrubberies and park. Many of 
them are remarkable for their graceful form and flowers, and for the highly, ornamental effect produced by their most delightful 
tints. We take great pains to ensure the trees being of the best possible quality. Careful attention is also given to pruning and 
staking, and our stock is regularly transplanted to ensure their safe removal. There is scarcely any spot, even under the greatest 
natural disadvantages, which cannot be made to look bright by the judicious planting of Ornamental Trees.
