Evergreens in August 
W HEN the waning summer begins to hint of autumn, 
then is the ideal time to plant evergreens. 
Rosedale Roots have a reputation for fitting themselves snugly 
into new soils so as to pass the winter safely. This is largely 
due to the custom I have persistently followed, even through 
the years of highest- priced labor, of frequently transplanting 
the trees. This transplanting causes Rosedale Trees to form 
compact root systems of great vigor. ' 
Rosedale Evergreens include over 7c varieties — many in sizes 
which will produce immediate effects. 
My catalogue will aid you in making happy selections from a 
stock as varied as any in the Empire State. 
Peonies Are Still My Hobby 
For more than twenty years, I have been growing and selecting 
peonies. When the big blooms begin to open, the Peony beds 
become the most attractive spot in the Nurseries. I then spend 
hours and days among my pets, learning to know them indi- 
vidually. 
I have taken the utmost pains to keep them pure; to avoid 
synonyms and to exclude inferior varieties and varieties of 
doubtful authenticity. 
If you love Peonies, you will be interested in my Peony Cata- 
logue. It also lists choice Irises and other Hardy Perennials.
