Don’t WasteTimeBy 
Planting Poor Stock 
The time it takes for trees and shrubs to grow and 
develop is so valuable that no man should waste it 
by planting poor stock. You cannot expect much suc- 
cess from an unhealthy plant, with a poor root system, 
— you will be lucky if it lives. If it dies you lose 
a year. If it pulls through it will make such slow 
growth that it will take two to five times as long to 
get the same growth as it would from a plant in a 
good healthy condition. 
Manjf purchasers are guided by the price asked for 
a plant, but .lUst as sure a,s you buy cheap stock you 
will be dissatisfied with the results and lose both time 
and money. With nursery stock it is the same as with 
any other goods — you cannot get the best for the low- 
est price. A plant offered as a 3 to 4 ft. plant means 
nothing more than its height. A plant can have height 
but not bushiness and it may not have been trans- 
planted for a number of years. 
We have a business standing of over 56 years, we 
know the kind of stock that gives satisfaction and 
that is the kind of stock we grow'. It is A No. 1 in 
every respect, — plenty of roots, bushy and healthy. It 
is a pleasure to plant such stock and it gives the 
quickest results. Send us your lists, — we will advise 
you w'hat we can supply and the price. Write us for 
our catalogue.

It is the new 1910 Edi- 
tion of our Handy 
Hand BookforGreen- 
house Materials. The 
many changes and 
improvements in our 
construction, fittings, 
boilers, etc. made it 
necessary to get out 
_ a new edition this 
year, so you could keep up with what we are doing. 
It contains a lot of things not in the old edition, and those 
which were in the old one are better shown and more fully 
described and illustrated. 
It is now the handiest kind of a Handy Hand Book, and the 
next time we drop around to see you, want to be sure to find 
it hanging o-n a nail in your work room. It has become one 
of the ear marks of up-to-dateness.
