'T'HE Wolcott Nurseries take pleasure in pre- 
senting to the garden world a new and dis¬ 
tinctive catalog containing a list of the choicest 
alpines and herbaceous perennials in this country. 
The greatest attention has been 
given to the description of these al¬ 
pine flowers as well as detailed in¬ 
structions for their successful care 
after transplanting. Many of these 
plants have heretofore been con¬ 
sidered very hard subjects for the 
amateur gardener but with the proper 
soil requirements, which are given 
in this catalog, they should thrive 
and become a delight to the eye. 
We believe that the alpine garden 
is a most fascinating part of the 
landscape and those who have 
grounds suitable for the successful 
placing of such a garden are indeed 
fortunate. 
To insure this catalog reaching the 
true garden lover we are making a 
small charge of twenty-five cents 
which will be refunded with the first 
order.

groups on the lawn, or massM around porches or foundation 
walls, they add an air of stately dignity to the modest suburban 
home, as well as the extensive estate. . Every home should have 
a few Evergreens. The important thing is to choose the right sort 
and get the best quality. We have a complete stock and can meet 
every requirement as to variety, size, price, or quality. Let us send
