Hbout Ourselves. 
O UR nursery has been built, up rapidly from a small beginning. The increasing appre¬ 
ciation 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 econom¬ 
ical and artistic, has resulted in a steady demand for carefully grown hardy stock. 
Seemingly the whole country has awakened to realize what great opportunities abound on 
very side for the creation of greater beauty. Practically every city and commonwealth 
aow has its developing parks and parkways, and the large proportion of the people individ¬ 
ually are taking an active interest in evolving beautiful gardens and otherwise surrounding 
their homes with the many expressions of beauty and trees and other hardy plants neces¬ 
sarily take a prominent part.. 
It is, of course, the enduring trees and other enduring (hardy) plants that must neces¬ 
sarily be used for these permanent improvements. There is now such a great variety avail¬ 
able at a well equipped Nursery to select from that the material for no end of charming 
schemes can be supplied. This has come about by ransacking the entire world for the many 
country’s most beautiful trees and plants. Japan alone furnishes a most fascinating avail 
able collection, and all the temperate zones, both north and south, have contributed 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 get the benefit 
of it. 
In working up our stock which the catalogue describes, we have constantly studied the 
^.nterest 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 most favorable 
conditions, and with our splendid facilities for handling the business cart of the work, cus¬ 
tomers can feel assured of prompt and courteous treatment, and to receive stock which will 
be a source of entire satisfaction to both buyer and seller. 
Specimens for Immediate 6ffect. 
At the nursery we give special attention to growing into large sizes many kinds of bruit 
and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs. Vines, etc., for bv their use much quicker results can be 
obtained than by the use of smaller stock. Many instances, occur where the purchaser gladly 
pays the additional charge for such stock over the usual sizes. 
Particular attention is called to our large collection of specimen Evergreens, ready for 
immediate effects. The number of these specimen plants is always more limited than of the 
smaller grades. A visit to the nursery is desirable where the selection of individual speci¬ 
mens is required. However, bv sending us a description of what is desired we can make 
selections which will be perfectly satisfactory when a personal visit is not practical) e.
