We have assembled a splendid collection of these plants in various varieties and 
sizes so useful in creating charming garden effects. Inquire for special list of stock 
on hand or better, visit the nursery and see them. These are mostly in tubs and pots 
and can be shipped any time. 
Special Japanese Exhibit. 
A rare collection assembled personally by one of the members of the Company 
while in Japan recently, is on exhibition at the Nursery. The individual specimens 
are not for sale singly, as the collection is too valuable to be broken up. A price 
will be considered, 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.
