Specimens for Formal 
Gardens. 
The Formal or Italian Garden is becoming a feature in much of the best landscape work in 
this country. This style of gardening with its trimmed trees and shrubs of clipped form, adds a 
unique attraction to many country estates. 
To Meet the rapidly increasing demand for these trained specimens for formal planting I have 
unsurpassed facilities for furnishing selections of the different varieties and sizes from my own direct 
importations of carefully selected stock from the best in Europe, and at very reasonable prices. Many 
of these specimen trees and plants are of exceptional size and quality, and are not only the largest 
and finest obtainable but cannot be duplicated or replaced. 
All ^ HIS Stock is grown and shipped eithe r in suitable boxes or tubs, or with solid compact 
balls of earth about the roots, thus avoiding practically all risk in safe shipment to any part of the 
country, or in transplanting. The selection consi sts of compact, well grown specimens as noted below. 
Other varieties can also be supplied. 
These Trained Specimens are not ordinarily kept in stock here. Orders should therefore be 
entered in advance of the shipping season if possible. 
Photographs with prices and other particulars will be furnished on application. Descriptions of 
the varieties will be found under their respective headings.
