Please notice that we pronounce all plant names. 
VVe have completely revised our catalogue this 
year and made a few changes in pronunciation 
according to the latest authorities and while 
there will always be ,a great deal of controversy 
on the subject we feel that you will not go far 
wrong in using our list as a guide. 
For years we have been collectors of rare plants 
and have succeeded in adding many new things to 
our list for this year and we sincerely hope that 
you will find our new catalogue of real service 
in your garden work. 
Located as we are in a region where thirty de¬ 
grees below zero is sometimes in order, our 
plants which are all field grown should be per¬ 
fectly hardy in any part of the country. We 
sometimes have a little difficulty in getting ship¬ 
ments off to our southern friends before the first 
of March although we do, as a rule have a spell in 
February in whch it is possible to make shipment. 
If you wish an early shipment, please advise on 
your order and we will do the very best that is 
possible. 
We prepay all orders of $1.00 or more. On orders 
of less than $1.00 please add 10c to cover postage. 
You may select an extra 25c plant for each $2.00 
sent i'n or three for each $5.00. We allow a furth¬ 
er 5% discount on all orders received before 
March 1st. and believe you will agree that this 
gives you unusual value. Plants suitable for the 
rockery or wall garden are marked thus (*). 
As our stock is very limited on some items we 
would appreciate a second choice that we might 
sulbstitute in case we are sold out of anything. 
If we are allowed to make a substitution our 
selves we always give extra value. 
Fantail Pigeons 
A garden without birds loses much of its charm. 
Unfortunately wild birds are not always in evi¬ 
dence when we have a few minutes to enjoy our 
gardens. Therefore, nature-lovers all over the 
country are coming more and more to realize the 
pleasure that can be derived from a few pairs of 
really good pigeons. 
An artistically built dove-cot placed against a 
building or set atop a post is an ornament to 
any garden. Great care should be taken, however 
that the house is out of reach of cats and dogs- 
Pigeons seem to be impervious to cold but must 
have a perfectly dry home. They eat practically no 
green food and do not scratch or dust in the 
ground as chickens do so are not harmful to 
the garden. 
Of all the fancy pigeons, Fantails are the true 
aristocrats.They are dainty little birds with huge 
tails of which they are very proud. They hold 
their heads very high and fairly quiver with ex¬ 
citement as they strut about and their soft cooing 
is a delight to hear. The weight of their large 
tails keep them from being great fliers and so 
they do not get far from their home at any time. 
They are gentle and easily tamed and can be 
trained to eat out of ones hand, and come when 
called or whistled for if pains are taken to feed 
them only in this way for a short time. 
We are very proud of our birds as they have 
been a hobby of the owners since childhood and 
only exceptionally fine specimens are used for 
breeding purposes. There is no gift that the 
children appreciate more than a pair or two of 
these beautiful birds. We can supply mated pairs 
at the following prices.
