DUNDEE NURSERY. 
I 
In presenting this Catalogue and Price List for the Spring of 1898 I desire 
to thank my customers who have so liberally patronized me the past season, 
and by honest dealing and strict attention to business, I hope to enjoy a con¬ 
tinuance of the same. 
The growing of Evergreens from seed is my specialty. While my prices 
will be found lower than most reliable establishments, I am quite confident my 
trees will be equal to the best and superior to most. 
Terms of payment must invariably be cash, or satisfactory note or draft. 
Orders to be sent C. O. D. must be accompanied by one-fourth cash. Money 
can be sent, as follows, at my risk: Draft on Chicago, Postoffice order, Regis¬ 
tered Letter, or Express Order. Do not send money in an open letter. 
Plants furnished as follows: 50 at 100 rales; 500 at 1,000 rates, etc. 
All goods delivered at freight depot or express office free of charge, after 
which our responsibility ceases. 
Be particular in all cases to put the order in a distinct, definite form. Let 
it be on a page or sheet separate from the body of the letter, with name, post- 
office, county and state plainly written, and give full directions as to route and 
manner in which stock is to be shipped—freight or express. 
I guarantee all my stock to be first-class in every respect and true to label, 
and to replace at one half price, upon proper proof of good care, all stock 
that dies the first year, but it is mutually agreed between the purchaser and 
myself that I am not liable for any sum greater than that originally received 
for said stock. 
Letters of inquiry solicited and will be carefully and cheerfully answered. 
These nurseries have been established for forty years. 
Write at once and take your choice from millions of trees—the largest 
Evergreen Nurseries in the United States. Also a general line of all kinds of 
Fruit Trees, Small Fruits, Forest Trees, Ornamentals, Roses, Shrubs, Bulbs, 
etc. Special attention is given to packing, for long as well as short distance 
shipments, for which I make no charge. 
On receiving trees from a nursery, the boxes or packages should be imme¬ 
diately unpacked and the roots dipped in a puddle made of rich, mellow soil, 
about the thickness of paint ready for use, and be careful not to let the roots 
get dry before planting. Place them in a cool, shady place until ready to plant, 
and if not immediately ready, heel them into the ground by placing the roots 
in a trench, covering well up with mellow soil, and well firming with the foot; 
if the ground is dry, give some water at planting. Set the trees a little deeper 
than they st^od in the nursery, treading the earth firmly about the roots when 
planting. This is one of the essentials of success.
