ILLUSTRATION FROM ” A PLEA FOR HARDY PLANTS.” 
SPECIAL OTTER 
l have arrangements with Messrs. Doubleday, Page & Co., by which I can supply my customers with my book, "A Plea for Hardy 
Plants,” at a nominal price. With orders for bulbs, trees, shrubs or plants amounting to $2 or more, a copy of tlie book bound in boards 
may bo added for To cents, or bound in paper for 35 cents, but only one copy can be ordered at these prices. 
TALL PLANTING OI ROSLS 
Much better results can be had with Hardy Hoses of ail descriptions when planted in the fall. All Roses start in to grow very 
early in the season, and if not planted very early in the spring, which is not always possible, they are very apt to die. My Catalogue 
containing full list of Roses will lie sent on request. 
LANDSCAPE. GARDE.NING 
The majority of American suburban grounds are laid out and planted without the aid of professional advice. The result is almost 
always unsatisfactory, although often the expenditure would have secured most beautiful results if directed by skilled advice. I do 
landscape gardening—do it for people of exacting taste, to whom I refer. I make the plans, with estimates, purchase the stock neces¬ 
sary and superintend the work. I do any one or all of these things, satisfactorily as to results, moderately as to cost. For small 
grounds 1 can make satisfactory plans if furnished with a plat drawn to scale. For large grounds, and where extensive improvements * 
are desired, a personal visit would be necessary and may be arranged for on reasonable terms.
