The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners. 
HARDY ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS. 
HOW OF SPECIMEN MOPHEADED ACACIA GROWING IN OUR NURSERIES. 
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 
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. 
This list is not by any means exhaustive 
of our stock, and we shall welcome inquir- 
ies for anything not included herewith. 
A separate list of Rhododendrons and 
Azaleas will be found on page 137, and 
of Conifer® on page 138. These classes 
can be usefully employed in ornamental 
borders, either alone or mixed with 
other shrubs and trees. 
We are continually engaged in carrying 
out alterations to gardens and pleasure 
grounds, and shall be most happy to advise 
as to the best manner to treat any pro- 
posed alterations, or to prepare plans and 
designs for new gardens.
