Japanese Cedars 
( Retinosporas ) 
For harmonious color effects, Retinosporas are unsur- 
passed. Their graceful habit of growth makes them a 
permanent pleasure to the eye. Add to this the fact that 
you can always maintain Retinosporas in just the shape 
and size you want to because they stand, shearing well, 
and you will know the principal reasons why we think of 
them as 
The Ideal Evergreens for limited space 
They are of medium growth, hence well adapted for small spaces 
and for uses in beds, or borders. As individual specimens, by 
free development, they may be grown to a height of 15 to 20 feet. 
Plumosa. Of compact, bushy growth. Delicate foliage of attractive 
bluish green shade. Sturdy specimens, 2 to 3 feet tall. $i.50each. 
Plumosa aurea. The golden-yellow form of the above making a 
strikingly handsome picture, especially among darker foliage plants or 
evergreens. $1.50 each. 
Filifera. With long, thread-like, pendent foliage. Of light green 
color, no other evergreen approaches it in unique appearance. $1.50 each. 
Squarosa. Bears shearing to almost any shape or size, though 20 
feet tall when fully grown under favorable conditions. Foliage quite dis- 
tinct, compace and tufted. $1.50 each. 
Special Offer 
We will supply a svmetrical specimen of each of 
above four kinds, 2 to 3 feet tall, carefully labelled and 
properly packed, for $5, f. o. b. express office. 
Rhododendrons for Color Harmony 
The blue-green evergreens and dark green, glossy foliage of 
Rhododendrons blend in perfect contrast. Besides thousands 
growing in our nurseries we import, each year, the finest of the 
new hybrids suitable for American conditions. In varieties of 
our selection we offer bushy well-budded plants at $1 each, $90 
per hundred, carefully packed, delivered to railroad station. 
A special treatise on Evergreens, together with our com- 
plete catalogue is yours, free for the asking. We extend a 
cordial invitation to those interested to visit our nurseries. 
Full directions will be gladly given as to the most convenient 
means of reaching them.
