During unfaltering progress recorded through¬ 
out its twenty-five years of business life, this 
nursery has acquired one of the largest and best 
collections of trees, shrubs and plants in the 
world. It puts at the disposal of home gardeners 
the choicest produced in the leading nurseries of 
America, Europe and Asia. In this respect we 
occupy the unique position of the clearing house 
for the world's plant treasures. As growers, we 
specialize in those plants which we can grow 
better than any obtainable elsewhere. In this, 
many years of practical experience with plant 
life prove our most dependable guide. In striv¬ 
ing after unusual standards we have succeeded 
in making this

Counts Most 
A Nursery Where Individuality in Plants 
To us, the intrinsic worth of plants is far ahead of their commercial value. 
Our growing plants are prepared to most fitly serve the purpose intended 
for them. Intimacy with the growing stocks reveals to us their future 
possibilities and limitations. If a plant is particularly desirable for trellises 
or porches, we emphasize this fact. If a shrub is desirable only in connection 
with certain companions, we say so frankly. Our catalogue is written with 
the intention to convey to you the finished picture which each of our plants, 
individually, will create around the home. “Best in the World” is the title 
of our modest 64-page catalogue which will serve to introduce to you the 
most important department of our business. A post card will bring it.

Years ago we inaugurated the system of having 
a personal representative visit Holland each year 
early in July to select for our customers “the 
World’s Best” in Bulbs. The only condition at¬ 
tached to our exceptionally low prices is that 
orders reach us before our man sails. By thus 
importing bulbs to order, and eliminating risks of 
loss through over-stocking, we can sell bulbs of 
the highest grade for less than they can be ob¬ 
tained elsewhere. Our bulb catalogue is readv 
for mailing about April first. May we book 
your name for your copy? 
We also are prepared to supply all that is ^ 
best in Vegetable and Flower Seeds. Tbe 
best varieties only, for private gardens, in 
strains of absolute merit, await your order 
at Elliott’s. A catalogue of this department 
is now readv for mailing. Please write for 
it TO-DAY. 
We publish four—two 
featuring Nursery 
Stock, one for Bulbs 
and one for Seeds. All 
are free and are ready 
for mailing at the log¬ 
ical time of the year. 
Every reader of House 
ic Harden needs all 
four to help solve 
gardening problems. 
W'hy not write your 
name on a post card, 
say “put my name on 
your mailing list’’ and 
make sure of repeated 
timely visitors from 
Elliott’s? Yours for 
prompt action.
