UR nurseries are situated in West Newbury, Essex Co., Mass., 
five and one-half miles from Newburyport and one and one- 
half miles from the Haverhill and Newburyport electric 
road. For more than one hundred years West Newbury has 
been noted for its nurseries; ours was started in 1832 and 
has been in constant operation ever since. We grow a gen¬ 
eral assortment of nursery stock — fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, etc., 
— not a large collection, but we aim to keep the best of everything in our 
line. 
Our Peonies especially make a grand display during the blooming sea¬ 
son and are usually at their best about June 15. Visitors are cordially 
invited to look over our grounds during any week day, and we will ensure 
them polite attention whether they are purchasers or not. 
From among the many excellent herbaceous plants we have selected 
three and have made them a specialty, viz. : the Peony, the Phlox, and the 
Iris. These should be “ the flowers for the million.” They are the most 
beautiful as well as the most hardy, being especially adapted to all the 
Northern states, also to Canada and the Provinces. They all do better if 
transplanted in the fall and may be shipped together. 
If those unacquainted with the different classes of plants, season of 
blooming, etc., will leave the selection wholly or in part to us, we will use 
our best judgment, and think from our long experience we can give good 
satisfaction. If our customers when sending orders will kindly state 
whether, in case we are out of stock in any variety (as frequently 
happens in all establishments), we may substitute some other as near like it 
as possible, it will be a convenience and save much time and correspond¬ 
ence, but we never substitute unless requested to do so. 
Mistakes will sometimes occur, but we seldom have any complaints. 
We are always glad to rectify any mistakes of our own, when we are satis¬ 
fied that they were mistakes. 
Early orders : It is very important that orders should be sent early, 
long before the planting time, so that the stock may be selected and 
reserved, ready to send at the proper time. 
Everything on this list will be packed in light boxes with clean moss, 
packing free, correctly and securely labeled, and sent by express, unless 
otherwise ordered. The Express Companies will carry all nursery stock at 
reduced rates. 
Terms: Cash with order, or a satisfactory reference from strangers. 
Dealers and those having a good rating need not send reference. 
A catalogue of all other nursery stock will be published early in the 
autumn; sent free to all who apply for it. 
If any one receiving this catalogue has friends who are interested in these flowers and will 
kindly send us their names, we will be happy to mail them catalogues.
