T 
In Pots, Tubs and Balls of Earth. 
HE popular demand for formal trained trees and plants is now very great. We have gathered 
together from various European sources a large collection of splendid specimen Bay trees, Box, 
Holly, and other plants adaptable to this special purpose. 
Charming g r ounds brimming with the wealth of good things that fill the eye with delight are 
the kind of gardens quite worth striving for. Equally beautiful gardens to the one here illustrated 
can be produced within a year's time at a cost that can be very moderate. Such accessories as 
pergolas, fountains, garden seats, etc., can be so constructed that the cost is very small or if taste 
and pocketbook so decide the styles of these , garden features can be made very elaborate. 
Evergreen Box. Trained Specimens. 
These interesting evergreens lend themselves kindly to severe trimming and shape up into attract¬ 
ive forms. They are hardy, but if planted in a location much exposed to winter wind and sun, it is 
desirable to protect them.

Pyramid. 
Special Japanese Exhibit. 
A rare collection assembled personally by 
one of the members of the Company while in 
Japan a year ago is on exhibition at the 
Nursery. The individual specimens are not 
for sale singly, as the collection is too valu¬ 
able to be broken up. A price will be con¬ 
sidered, however, for the entire collection. A 
number of these trees are of great age and all 
of them are most interesting in their forms and 
expressions—a rare treat well worth seeing.
