The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners. 
HARDY ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS. 
As we anticipated, last Spring we experienced 
<a great demand for all kinds of Ornamental 
Trees and Shrubs for refurnishing the gardens 
and pleasure grounds which had perforce been 
neglected during the war. 
The coming Season will doubtless see a con- 
tinuance of this work, and we have made ample 
preparations for supplying the needs of our 
customers in this important department of our 
business. 
So much depends on the work of planting Trees 
and Shrubs which have been regularly trans- 
planted, and here we are able to say that the 
whole of our huge stock of Trees has been trans- 
planted during the past two years ; we can there- 
fore with confidence ask intending planters to 
place their orders in our hands. 
During the past twenty years many most 
beautiful subjeots have been added to the list of 
Flowering and Ornamental Trees, and in the 
following pages all the most charming subjects 
are included.
