EVERGREENS . . • 
We have hundreds of varieties of Evergreens, and over 30,000 plants in all sizes up to 15 feet, 
the largest and most complete assortment in several states. This is just a sample of what we have. 
The prices are exceptionally low this fall. 
AMERICAN ARBOR-VITAE. 
Small tree with pressed foli¬ 
age, broad at base, tapering 
to a regular pyramid. One 
of the best quick-growing va¬ 
rieties where space permits. 
Popular for hedges. 
GLOBE ARBOR-VITAE. A 
perfect ball of foliage spread 
proportionately broad to its 
height. Very dwarf, compact, 
and most attractive, with its 
flat, lacy foliage. 
Globe PYRAMIDAL ARBOR-VITAE. 
Should have been called col¬ 
umnar, for it grows in narrow, spirelike form. Unsur¬ 
passed for confined places or where a “spiky” accent 
plant is needed. Very popular. 
PINE (White and Scotch). Two of the outstanding large 
growing Evergreens. Do well in either dry or moist 
locations. Free of disease. 
HEMLOCK. “When in doubt, plant Hemlock." This 
has been our slogan for years. No better tree grows. 
Winter color is deepestgreen. Unusually graceful 
habit of branching. Can be 
sheared at any time, there¬ 
fore is most adaptable as a 
foundation plant, hedge, or 
for general utility. Finest 
stock in America. Special 
quotations in quantity. 
SPREADING JUNIPER. 
Pfitzer’s Juniper is by far 
the best low sprawling type. 
Glaucous foliage and at¬ 
tractive horizontal branch¬ 
ing habit. Free from most 
evergreen pests, including 
dogs. Lies close to ground 
and is the one best “tie-in” 
Evergreen. White Pine 
NORWAY SPRUCE. Known 
as the “Christmas Tree,” and 
the most familiar Spruce. 
Tall, stately, handsome, and 
hardy everywhere. Superb as 
a specimen tree, or for wind¬ 
breaks and screens. 30 to 50 
feet high. 
IRISH JUNIPER. A perfect 
column of foliage, green with 
bluish cast. Do not plant 
close to hot wall. Unusually 
attractive for ten years or 
more. 
PRICES OF 5- TO 8-YEAR- 
OLD TREES

ductory offer we are making 
bargain prices. The plants list¬ 
ed on this page are available in 
three sizes, any assortment. All 
plants sent with balls of soil.

and a continuous show of pink bell-shaped flowers from 
June until frost. Loses its leaves in January or later. 
75c and £1.00 sizes. Balled and burlapped.

seldom growing over 4 feet high. In late summer it 
has inconspicuous flowers which are followed by pink 
berries which hold all winter. A splendid shrub be¬ 
cause of the bright fruit and the rich green leaves that 
remain until spring. Plants, 75c, £1.00, and £1.50,

No Agents 
Our representatives and 
sales people call by appoint¬ 
ment only. Last season on at 
least a dozen occasions we 
were informed that “our 
agent” had said so-and-so or 
had called. This is gross mis¬ 
representation. We sell direct 
only, assuming all guarantees 
and responsibility for pur¬ 
chases made of us. This can 
not be done in the nursery 
business except through direct 
sales. 
FLOWERING SHRUBS - SHADE and ORNAMENTAL TREES 
SHRUBS 
Hardy shrubs are needed in every garden as 
a background for the picture. They are useful 
for bordering roadsides and for screens, and some 
of them make lovely isolated specimens on the 
lawn. 
These shrubs have been transplanted to make 
heavy roots and many branches. We assure you 
that they are considerably above average size. 
^BARBERRY, Japanese. 
Very popular hedge or 
specimen shrub about 4 
feet high. Foliage turns 
brilliant red and scarlet 
shades in fall, followed 
by bright berries that 
hang all winter. 
"BARBERRY, New Red. A 
fine shrub with red foli¬ 
age all summer. Must 
be planted in full sun¬ 
light, else foliage will be 
Red Barberry bronzy. Red berries add 
to its winter interest. 
DEUTZIA, Pride of Rochester. Tall shrub (8 to 10 feet 
with sprays of double bell-shaped flowers all over the 
bush in June. 
FORSYTHIA (Golden Bell). Its great show of goldei 
yellow bells heralds the spring before the loaves appear. 
After mid-January twigs may be taken in the house and 
“forced.” Excellent foliage. 
^'HYDRANGEA, Hills of Snow. The tip of every stem 
carries in June a huge snowball-shaped flower which re¬ 
mains on the plants all through the summer. 
^HYDRANGEA, Pee-Gee (Old-fashioned Hydrangea). 
Large, cone-shaped blossoms in August. As these giant 
blossoms mature they turn pink, making a most attrac¬ 
tive display. 
KOLKWITZIA (Beauty Bush). Drooping, graceful 
branches and a pro¬ 
fusion of beautiful 
bell-shaped, light 
pink blossoms in 
April. 
MOCK - ORANGE 
(Syringa or Phila- 
delphus). The old- 
fashioned “Orange 
Blossom” makes a 
marvelous display in 
May of pure white, 
exquisitely fragrant 
blossoms. One of 
the best all-round 
Forsythia 
Double Mock Orange 
MOCK-ORANGE, 
Double or Virginal. 
Large, double, fra¬ 
grant blossoms borne 
all over the bush 
make it a sight to 
behold. Later in the 
season it has con¬ 
siderable summer 
bloom. It is erect in 
growth and should 
be planted 3*/2 to 
4 V 2 feet apart for 
mass effect. 
*SPIREA, Anthony 
Waterer (Dwarf Pink 
Spirea). A real gem 
of dwarf shrubs, about 2 feet high, producing a mass 
of pleasing pink blossoms in late May. If pruned it will 
continue to flower throughout the growing season. 
SPIREA, Van Houttei (Bridal Bower or Bridal Wreath). 
Many believe it is still the best all-round shrub. Its 
great bowers of lovely white flowers spring like snow 
sprays from every big and little branch. 
LILAC, Purple. Noble, old-fashioned plants. Our plants 
are propagated from divisions of fine, fragrant, sure-to- 
bloom specimens. We offer the old-fashioned white va¬ 
riety, too. 
HIGH-BUSH CRANBERRY. Resembles Snowball and 
grows about 8 to 10 
feet high. Valued for 
the great masses of 
bright red berries that 
cover the plant in late 
summer and early fall. 
Attractive to birds. 
WEIGELA rosea. A 
good companion to 
Spirea Van Houttei. 
Its great sprays of 
pink flowers come in 
May. One of the most 
popular shrubs of me¬ 
dium height. 
Cranberry
