PLANTING PLANS AND HORTICULTURAL QUESTIONS. We are pleased to answer inquiries 
from friends or patrons concerning what to plant, how to plant, and when to plant. Our experience 
is at your command. Not only are we prepared to give advice, supply names of trees, shrubs and 
plants, either cultivated or wild, or to prescribe for plant diseases or attacks of insects, but we will 
gladly undertake, at small cost, to prepare plans for beautifying the home surroundings, showing a 
pleasing arrangement of paths and drives combined with an artistic grouping of trees and shrubs. 
ILLUSTRATIONS. The engravings in this catalogue have been exclusively prepared for us and 
are, without exception, made from photographs of objects on our own grounds and about Rochester. 
GLEN WOOD TREES AND PLANTS are growing from Maine to California and from Canada to 
Mexico, besides several countries across the seas. In our comprehensive collection may be found 
plants adapted to the local conditions of the average planter, whether it be a locality where severe 
cold reigns in winter, or one where warmer sun prevails. 
BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT. We have suitable plants of all of the species and varieties for 
sending by express or freight. Such plants have been frequently transplanted, are shapely and 
select specimens, and represent honest values. They may be sent safely to any point having 
transportation facilities. 
PACKING. The utmost care will be used in digging and preparing the plants for shipment. 
There are no charges for packing or packing-cases, or for delivery to our freight or express depots, 
except in the instance of shipments to foreign countries, where the preparation is often an important 
item of expense. 
DIRECTIONS FOR SHIPPING. Please state how you wish goods sent. In the absence of 
explicit directions for mode of shipping, we will forward consignments according to our best 
judgment. 
OUR RESPONSIBILITY. We refer you to any bank or bankers in Rochester, N. Y. We 
guarantee safe arrival and satisfactory condition of all shipments, unless, from the lateness of the 
season or extreme causes, we write for consent to waive responsibility. We are most careful to have 
all plants correctly labeled, and hold ourselves prepared to replace, on proper proof, all that may 
prove untrue to label, or to refund the amount paid therefor; but it is understood that, in case of 
error on our part, we shall at no time be held responsible for a greater amount than the original 
price of such plants. 
TERMS CASH on or before delivery to forwarding agents, except that we extend credit to 
patrons by agreement. 
PACKING SEASON. We ship from October 1 to May 1, with the usual interruptions during 
winter. 
CARE OF STOCK ON ARRIVAL. Promptly on arrival the trees or plants should be unpacked 
and planted, or else the roots should be protected from sun or air by covering with moist earth. If 
the ground is frozen outside, or the packing material in the cases frozen, store the original package 
in a cool, moist cellar until the conditions are favorable for handling. Care should be taken in 
choosing soil and environment to the end that success may reasonably follow your labors in planting. 
PLANT YOUNG TREES 
T HE nursery is the place to start young: trees to grow until fit to be set out into the lawn or orchard. Too many are 
anxious to secure trees of large or bearing: size, an error which cannot be too soon corrected. The nursery is no 
place to -grow bearing trees. We cannot too strongly recommend to our customers the wisdom of procuring 
young trees. 1 hey can be taken up more perfectly, can be more readily trained into proper shape, are more liable to 
live, and will be more likely to produce satisfactory and paying crops of fruit. In four years from planting, with good 
care, the two- or three-year-old trees will produce more fruit than the large or bearing size planted out at the same time. 
Future success depends more upon the care given the tree than its size. Again we would say, plant young, thrifty trees.

Rule— Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the 
product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill; which divided into the number of square feet in an acre 
(43,560) will give the number of plants or trees to the acre.
