The Elm City Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn. 
About Ourselves. 
O UR nursery has been built up rapidly from a 
small beginning. The increasing apprecia¬ 
tion and demand for the many beautiful hardy 
trees and other hardy plants which endure in our 
climate from year to year and produce permanent 
results, both economical and artistically, has re¬ 
sulted in a steady demand for carefully grown 
hardy stock. This is the grade we supply. 
Seemingly the whole country has awakened to 
realize what great opportunities abound on every 
side for the creation of greater beauty with Land¬ 
scape and other gardening schemes. Practically 
every city and commonwealth now has its devel¬ 
oping parks and parkways, and the large proper 
tion of the people individually are taking an 
active interest in evolving beautiful gardens and 
otherwise surrounding their homes with the 
many expressions of beauty. Tree and other 
hardy plants necessarily take a prominent part in 
these progressive movements. 
It is, of course, the enduring trees and other 
enduring (hardy) plants that must necessarily 
be used for these permanent improvements. 
There is now such a great variety available at a 
well equipped Nursery to select from that the ma¬ 
terial for no end of charming schemes can be 
supplied. This has come about by ransacking the 
entire world for the many country s most beauti¬ 
ful trees and plants. Japan alone furnishes a 
most fascinating available collection, and all the 
temperate zones, both north and south, have con¬ 
tributed their full share. 
Careful testing for many years is fast proving 
the most desirable kinds, and it is our practice to 
keep in touch with the latest information, and 
our customers g'et the benefit of it. 
In working up our stock which this catalogue 
describes, we have constantly studied the interest 
of the buying public, and the stock herein listed 
can be depended on to be not only representative 
as to assortment, but has been most carefully 
grown under the most favorable conditions, and 
with our splendid facilities for handling the busi¬ 
ness part of the work, customers can feel assui ed 
of prompt and courteous treatment, and of re¬ 
ceiving stock which will be a source of entire sat¬ 
isfaction.
