Neosho 
SHRUBS 
COME IN 
THREE GRADES 
Neosho Shrubs are graded according 
to size of plant and root system. This 
grading is as follows: 
Specimen Grade — Stron g, heavy 
three-year plants with bushy, well¬ 
shaped tops, 3 to 4 ft. high on the 
strong growers like Honeysuckle or 
Spirea Van Houttei, while 2 to 2 y 2 ft. 
would be a specimen grade on Spirea 
Anthony Waterer or Deutzia Gracilis. 
This grade will please the most exact¬ 
ing customer who wants to make a 
quick showing. Most varieties in this 
grade will bloom the first season. 
Standard Grade —As shown in photo¬ 
graph above, fine strong plants, 2 to 
3 ft. where the specimen grade runs 
3 to 4 ft., and 18-24 in. where the 
specimen grade runs 2 to 2 y 2 ft. 
Postpaid Grade —These are good two- 
year-old plants, suitable for shipment 
by prepaid parcel post, that will give 
very satisfactory results, though not 
as quick an effect as the specimen or 
standard grades. 
The photographs herewith illustrate 
better than anything we might say, 
Specimen Grade 
Standard Grade 
Postpaid Grade 
the quality and specifications of our 
three different grades. Note the abun¬ 
dance of branches and the heavy fibrous 
roots in photo No. 1, which is our 
specimen grade. No. 2 represents our 
standard grade, and No. 3 our postpaid 
grade. All of these grades offer excep¬ 
tional values in their class. 
“My Yard Gets Much Attention*’! 
“A few years ago I started planting 
some of your trees and shrubs, and 
through your wonderful catalog of in¬ 
formation and a little study, I have a 
most pretty yard and home of my own 
planting and arranging and which 
causes no little attention from friends 
and others who very often ask where 
I get my shrubs.”—P. C. Deputy, Mo. 
“I was well pleased with the way 
they were put up, and the plants were 
larger and finer than I expected at that 
price.”—Mrs. E. J. Chambers, N. Car. 
Garden of F. E. Rice, Bartlesville, Okia. Such a beauty spot as this ean be yours with a 
moderate expenditure of money and effort.
