NFORMATION 
and INSTRUCTIONS 
A GARDENING catalogue, that is really representative of the choicest and best products in 
the various departments of Horticulture, requires a tremendous effort on the part of those 
who assist in its preparation, for it is apparent that it cannot be the work of one individual. 
The mere printing and illustrating is nothing as compared with the work involved in the 
preparation of the text. An organization such as ours, where each department is managed 
by a capably trained and efficient executive, must show continual progress all along the line 
through its offerings to the gardening public, in order to maintain its well-established repu¬ 
tation as a reliable and responsible institution. 
We aim to keep all our departments up to date. We 
include those items that show merit over older but 
similar types, which are discarded. Whether it be a 
flower, vegetable or plant, each is given its true inter¬ 
pretation in color, size, character and general utility. 
Research in Lilies alone hos brought us in contact 
with some 1 10 or 115 varieties gathered in the distant 
regions of every continent in the world; these hove 
been carefully classified, described and illustrated and 
are offered to our American friends, in such a compre¬ 
hensive form, that the merest amateur can have lilies 
in his garden that were previously unheard of. Many 
of them are listed in this catalogue, but complete de¬ 
scriptions are given in our book "Consider the Lilies" 
devoted to Lilies exclusively (see page 62). 
We invite inquiries from those seeking advice on 
Horticulture as we have in our establishment experts 
who are well qualified to impart information. It may 
be possible that there are many articles not enumer¬ 
ated in our comprehensive list but as we have ex¬ 
tensive sources of supply an inquiry will bring the 
desired information and lowest quotation on high 
grade stock.

as possible on receipt of catalogue. We endeavor to ship all 
orders immediately on receipt, but during the busy season it is 
almost impossible; hence, the importance of ordering early. 
Orders for Bulbs, Plants and Nursery Stock will be shipped 
in due time for planting in season. 
PARCELS POST. We deliver free by Parcels Post all seeds, when 
cash accompanies the order, except Farm Seeds or Clovers. If 
these are wanted by mail, please add the cost of postage at

times, except as stated below, excluded from free delivery.

estimates on plantings where first class stock is wanted. By let¬

market changes without notice. Owing to the fluctuating 
market in prices of all materials, we cannot bind ourselves on 
prices of any articles. 
PAYMENT. All orders should be accompanied by cash in the 
form of Draft, Cheque or P. O. Order. Owing to the difficulty 
in collecting accounts, no order from parties unknown to us or
