The shrubs we offer ‘are strong healthy field grown plants 
which, with ordinary care, should give the very best of satis¬ 
faction. Our prices are placed as low as possible and still 
give our customers the high-grade stock that has enabled 
us to build up our enormous business. 
The 18 to 24 inch sizes are 2 and 3 years old while the larger sizes vary from 3 
to 5 years of age. In order to meet present day demands for low priced stock we 
have also included this year a 12 to 18 inch grade. These are mostly of one and two 
years’ growth and cannot be compared to the larger sizes which are older. However, 
they are old enough to be easily transplanted and will give you an opportunity to 
landscape your premises at little cost. We are sure that our plants will please you. 
As an added feature we furnish complete instructions for planting and care of trees, 
shrubs, evergreens, perennials, etc. 
There are very few lawns which could not be improved in appearance by the addi¬ 
tion of a few more shrubs. A small amount of money spent on shrubbery will beautify - 
your home and greatly increase the value of your property.
