THE ELM CITY NURSERY COMPANY,

D 
[EXPERIENCE has taught us that most sorts of Hardy Trees and other Hardy Plants 
can be transplanted during late Summer and Autumn to better advantage than in 
the Spring. Why it is so may be a source of conjecture. It is the fact that 
is of practical interest to the planter, and years of experience in transplanting, 
at all seasons and under varying conditions, has demonstrated this fact to us. 
terms and Shipping Directions • Cash in advance or satisfactory reference from unknown 
parties. Six of a kind at dozen rates. Fifty of a kind at hundred rates. Special 
quotations on large quantities. Write address plainly, and if out of town, state by 
what route we are to ship. Orders by express or freight packed and delivered at 
the depots, and our teams deliver all orders in city and vicinity free. 
Order 6arly * Do not wait until you are ready to plant before ordering, but place your 
order at once if possible. We will hold such orders subject to further directions if 
requested. The actual shipping season is so short that much is gained both to the 
planter and the nurseryman when orders are booked in advance of the actual ship¬ 
ping season 
ROW tO Reach Us * Our nursery and office are located at EDGE WOOD, Edgewood 
Avenue, just beyond Edgewood Park. The Edgewood Avenue cars pass the nur¬ 
sery. Telephone. 
Landscape Department « Under the direction of Mr. Ernest Francis Coe, Landscape 
Architect. Write for terms. 
Practical Superintendence and General Planting * We have in our employ workmen com¬ 
petent to carry out and superintend landscape and general garden work either from 
plans or otherwise, also those who know how to plant trees, etc., in a proper man¬ 
ner. Parties wishing us to furnish such service will do well to arrange with us as 
early in the season as practicable. 
Grading and Curfing « We have every facility for doing this work, and know how to 
establish fine velvety lawns. 
...Specimens for immediate effect... 
AT the Nursery we give special attention to growing into large 
J* sizes many kinds of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, 
etc., for by their use much quicker results can be obtained than 
by the use of smaller stock. 
We now have a limited number of fruiting sizes in Apple, Pear, 
Cherry, Plum and Quince trees, also many line specimen shade trees, 
shrubs and roses. Particular attention is called to our large collec¬ 
tion of specimen evergreens, ready for immediate lawn effects or 
for potting up for use as bouse decorations, both in and out. The 
number of these specimen plants is always more limited than of the 
smaller grades. A visit to the nursery is desirable where the selec¬ 
tion of individual specimens is desired.
