Remarks 
IN THIS catalog we make no claims to a complete list of nursery stock, but have 
endeavored to give a brief and accurate description of the varieties of Trees and Plants 
best suited to this section. 
Most of these are well known and thoroughly tested sorts, including also more 
recent introductions that have proved their worth and some novelties that promise to 
be real acquisitions. 
In describing our Trees and Shrubs we have, for the most part, used the common, 
rather than the botanical, name, except where the botanical name is so well known as to 
be, practically, the common name. 
In Perennials we have done the reverse, giving preference to the botanical name, 
with the common name, if well known, following in parentheses. 
It is our especial aim to send out only stock that has been well grown, carefully 
dug, and properly handled, thus securing the best results to our customers. 
Though the larger part of our business is done through salesmen, we also solicit 
orders by mail and welcome those who prefer to buy direct at the Nursery. 
As we do not issue a new catalog annually, we cannot print prices, since these vary 
from year to year, but we are always glad to answer inquiries and quote prices on any 
stock in our list. 
Plain directions for planting will be sent with each order, and any stock that fails to 
live through the first summer will be replaced without charge, provided it was properly 
set out and cared for. 
We exercise the greatest care to have our stock true to name, but mistakes are pos¬ 
sible with everybody. Should any such occur, we agree to replace the stock with the true 
variety, as originally ordered, or to refund the purchase price, but are not to be held liable 
for more than the original price. 
Plans and Planting. We are prepared to furnish designs for plantings of ornamental 
trees and shrubs, either for the small city or town lot or for more extensive grounds. Mr. 
Harold C. Atwater, of our firm, studied Landscape work at Cornell University and has 
also had a practical experience of over twenty years in this line. We shall be pleased to 
assist any of our customers who wish to consult us on this subject. 
Within easy trucking distance of the Nursery we can, if desired, attend to the set¬ 
ting out of stock purchased from us. For this service a reasonable charge will be made. 
Location. Our main Nursery is situated at the corner of South and Suffield Streets, 
Agawam, about five miles southwest of Springfield, Mass., and three-fourths mile west of 
the main West Side auto route between Springfield and Hartford. We also have a branch 
field, used mostly for growing Evergreens, on the lower part of Main Street, Agawam. 
Visitors are welcome and we are glad to have them inspect our Nursery, but 
No Business Will Be Transacted on Sunday. 
We solicit your orders and assure you that we shall do all in our power to fill them 
to your entire satisfaction. 
Respectfully, 
C. W. ATWATER & SON.
