Buying Department. 
The Buying Department of my Office offers the largest and best 
collection of Trees, Shrubs and Plants in the world. The largest, 
because it offers the products of the leading nurseries of Europe, America 
and Japan; the best, because expert knowledge is used in selecting 
stock in the best nurseries. This Department, although only established 
ten years, has given such satisfaction that there are but few nurserymen 
and plantsmen who handle so much stock. 
My business is purely an office one. I have no stock on hand that 
must be sold. My customers' interests and mine are identical, and when 
anything is ordered from me, I buy it direct from the very best grower of 
that particular tree or shrub, wherever he may be found, in America, 
Europe or Japan. By combining the orders of a great many people, I obtain 
very low prices, and give my customers the benefit of them by charging 
only a moderate profit for my services. 
In connection with my office, I have extensive Experimental Grounds 
in which all novelties, rarities and standard varieties are tested. 
To avoid misunderstandings, customers are requested to read terms 
on next page before ordering.
