The Finest Fruits 
from Your Own Garden 
H OME-GROWN fruits are coming into their own. Like the 
vegetables which you grow in your own garden, they are fresher, 
finer flavored and in every respect far superior to any you can buy 
from your dealer. Theirs is the quality of mellow sunshine and soft 
breezes, of cool morning dews and the drifting fragrance of flowers. 
They are a pleasure and a practical essential which give the crowning 
touch to any garden, be it great or small. 
W ’’ithout Fruit your Garden is not Complete. 
We are supplying home owners with well-grown plants of the 
finest fruits for home planting. We invite your orders. 
That Garden of Your D reams 
Gan Become a Reality 
The garden should interpret the warmth of 
the home, in terms of natural growing things. 
N OW is the time to set your goal for garden achieve¬ 
ment for 1923. A house without a garden is less 
than a home. The restfulness and improved appearance 
gained by a truly appropriate setting for your home is 
well worth the investment. The art of arranging grow¬ 
ing things to produce pictures is the work of a trained 
mind. 
Competent Landscape Service 
Offered our Customers. 
Luscious Blueberries: Not the ordinary 
small, seedy berries to which you are 
accustomed, but the superbly large, 
full-fleshed fruits abounding in rich, 
creamy juice of delectable flavor. Of 
all small fruits, the berries from our 
nursery-grown bushes are the best for 
pie. And real blueberry pie is—well, 
need we say more? 
Blueberry plants are absolutely hardy, 
decorative in autumn and winter, grow 
rapidly and bear profusely. They are 
easy to plant and care for, and they 
last for a hundred years. If they are 
planted early this spring they will 
probably produce fruit before autumn.

Rochester Peach—Richest in Qualities. 
What is more beautiful than a peach 
tree in blossom? Few fruits equal, and 
none surpass, the peach for the home 
planting. Next to the apple it has the 
greatest variety of uses. The wonderful 
new variety, “Rochester” is a worth¬ 
while variety for the home garden. 
Large, yellow, and red freestone; 
flesh yellow, very highly flavored; stone 
very small. To eat out of hand or 
preserved it cannot be equalled as a 
delicacy. Comes into ripening the middle 
of August. 
Bearing Age Fruit Trees 
There is no reason why a person who 
wants to plant an orchard, or have fruit 
for home use, should plant one or two- 
year-old fruit trees and wait several 
years for the trees to come into bearing, 
any more than there is a reason to 
plant a spindly one or two-year elm 
tree, and wait eight or ten years for 
shade. Our large Bearing Age trees are 
for quick results, the pick of our 
nurseries, with beautiful root systems 
that are really the heart of the tree, 
and they save you several years of 
waiting. These trees are so fine that 
their added expense will be forgotten 
when you receive them. 
Don t Grow Ordinary Fruit: Select 
superior varieties. You don’t need to 
be apologizing to the palate nor to your 
guests when you grow superior fruit. 
What is to be compared with a cherry 
tree in bloom? So suggestive of Japan, 
so cheerful, so promising. Not only 
useful but beautiful. 
Fruit trees blend well with ornamental 
planting, especially while in bloom. 
Pure white blossoms. Use fruit-bearing 
trees instead of mere ornamental plants. 
They are gorgeous in blossom and again 
in fruit. 
JVlelting Raspberries: 
In a crystal bowl on the breakfast 
table, sugar bowl and creamer beside 
them—and the hottest summer day is 
started right. 
Cool and fragrant, deliciously fresh 
from your own garden, out there whence 
the wren’s ecstatic song pours in through 
the open windows, they delight the 
senses of sight, taste and smell. 
Golden Queen: considered the best of 
all the yellow sorts. Color, size, flavor, 
hardiness, habit of growth and bearing, 
all unite to make it the variety par ex¬ 
cellence for the raspberry connoisseur’s 
garden. 
Honey Sweet: Delicious new variety 
of Black Raspberry. In flavor it is 
rich, sweet, and refreshing. Strong 
transplants that will bear fruit next 
summer. 
Orders placed immediately will be 
shipped in time for you to plant this 
Spring and gather the first golden 
globes of lusciousness next Summer. 
Bearing Age (grape Vines 
With the increased interest in grape 
culture, we feel exceedingly fortunate in 
being able to offer in limited quantity, 
heavy bearing-age vines with fruiting 
spurs, heavily rooted. Planting these 
vines saves you two or three years of 
waiting. Varieties: Lucille (Red); Em¬ 
pire State (White) and Hubbard (Blue). 
Blackberries, Loganberries, Goose¬ 
berries—all find their place in our 
catalog. Write for a copy. It is sent 
upon request to readers of House & 
Garden. 
Our Landscape Department is built 
to help you solve your particular land¬ 
scape problem. 
Whether you own a mansion or a small 
home, whether you have just purchased 
your property, or whether you are 
considering re-arranging your planting 
scheme, you will find it an advantage 
to consult with us. 
We offer certain advantages. Being 
primarily nurserymen, our knowledge 
of the plants themselves gives us the 
ability to choose materials of the finest 
quality through our acquaintance with 
sources of supply. Having pride in the 
quality of nursery stock supplied, it is 
but natural that we are interested in 
having this stock planted in such 
manner as to give you the finest results 
on your grounds. 
Our complete force of landscape 
engineers and architects, long experi¬ 
enced in solving planting problems and 
practical planting work, is available to 
you. We supervise plantings personally 
and if desired, can furnish trained labor 
and equipment, thus relieving you of 
every detail and bother 'n the arrange¬ 
ment of your grounds. 
We are in a position to send a member 
of our Landscape Engineering Depart¬ 
ment to any part of the United States 
to consult with you on your landscape 
problem. Our branch offices are estab¬ 
lished for that purpose. We have 
already completed many fine plantings, 
which attest to the quality and dependa¬ 
bility of our service and of our nursery 
stock. 
But our bigger service is for the small 
property needing appropriate planting. 
There are numerous homes being built 
throughout the United States around 
which the necessity for planting is 
almost paramount. If the planting is 
accomplished at the time of the com¬ 
pletion of the house, greater immediate 
beauty will result, and an air of 
permanence be given the property, pro¬ 
curable in no other manner. 
We make only a moderate charge for 
the actual cost of interview and pre¬ 
liminary survey of your property. 
Enter into correspondence with our 
Rochester Office and be assured that 
your problems will receive our best and 
most courteous attention.
