Special Offer of Ornamental Flowering Shrubs. 
SHIPPED FROM STATION NEAR PITTSBURGH. 
I want to encourage the planting of shrubs. To be effective they should be planted in masses, but when dealers or 
nurserymen ask fifty cents each for easily-grown shrubs there is not much encouragement to plant them freely. I have made 
arrangements by which I can supply my customers with well-grown shrubs in the best varieties at the extremely low prices 
quoted below, but in every instance the selection of varieties must be left to me, but in ordering if it is stated that certain 
shrubs are not wanted they will not be sent. 1 guarantee these shrubs to be satisfactory in both quality and variety.

Low Prices for Hydrangeas. 
SHIPPED FROM STATION NEAR PITTSBURGH. 
Prices good until stock is exhausted. Fall or Spring 
delivery. 
No more popular plant or shrub has ever been sent 
out than Hydrangea Paniculate Grandiflora, and I 
take great pleasure in offering my customers a large 
stock of splendid vigorous plants at such extremely 
low prices that it will enable them to plant this effect¬ 
ive shrub in quantity. 
People who have only seen this Hydrangea grown 
singly as specimens have no conception of how beauti¬ 
ful and effective they arc when planted in masses. 
They are planted in this way at Newport, It. I., which 
is famous for its fine gardens, and almost as famous 
for its Hydrangeas. These Hydrangeas can be planted 
in connection with other shrubbery or in isolated 
beds, in the same manner as Cannas, Caladiums or 
or other strong growing bedding plants. They are 
perfectly hardy, and once planted they are a perma¬ 
nent addition to the lawn or garden. When grown 
in beds or groups they should be planted about two 
feet apart in very rich soil, which should be liberally 
enriched annually with rotten stable manure, and in 
the early Spring, before they commence to grow, cut 
back so as to leave only two or three inches of the 
new growth of the previous season, and if extremely 
large flowers are desired, cut out some of the weakest 
shoots after growth has commenced. Treated in this 
manner they will produce enormous panicles of 
(lowers, and the beds- will be a solid mass of bloom. 
They bloom profusely the same season planted. Try 
them. You will find them more than satisfactory.

GROUP OF HARDY HYDRANGEAS ON LAWN.— From the English Flower Garden. ‘ 
The Royal Collection of Japanese Irises. 
(For complete description of named varieties see my Spring Catalogue.) 
Four years ago a set of Japanese Irises (Iris Krempferiil were sent to me from Japan to test, which were said to be identical with the collection in 
the Koval Gardens. 1 cannot vouch for this statement, as I have never been in Japan, but I have never seen another collection in America or Furope 
that would equal it in any way. The collection contained many colors and varities I had never seen before, and the flowers were all of remarkable size 
and beauty. When the Irises were in bloom they excited the greatest admiration and enthusiasm, and it was hard to convince people that these unique 
and exquisitely beautiful flowers were as hardy as apple trees and as easily grown as potatoes. They will thrive in any good garden soil, hut if the soil 
is made very rich and deep and flooded with water lor a month before and during tneir blooming season, they will produce flowers of wonderful size, 
sometimes ten to twelve inches across. These Irises should he planted in full exposure to the sun. I am importing a considerable quantity of this 
superb collection from Japan, and until the stock is exhausted will furnish them at the low prices quoted below.
