What Five Dollars Will Buy in 
Best in the World Nursery Stock

past two years. Yet, because we know how to buy, and where to do 
it most advantageously, Elliotts, of Pittsburg have to-day stocks un- 
impaired by heavy demands and greatly hampered importation facil- 
ities. Your Dollars here will buy just as much of just as superb 
quality as they ever did — possibly more! Increased growing facilities 
and better ways to do things in all departments enable us to offer to 
American garden hobbyists greater values in bigger variety than ever 
before. Here are a few collections obtainable for $5.00. Our catalogues 
mentioned below, abound with liberal offers of this kind.
