Georgetown branch of the B..& M. R. R., may be seen growing

most discriminating buyers. Special attention is given to hardy 
native plants, which must always be the basis of successful perma¬ 
nent plantings.

a special discount of 107o will be allowed on

steamship lines, 
and rates are low. 
SHIPMENTS OF “COLLECTED*’ RHODODENDRON 
MAXIMUM and KALMIAS are from my special fields in Penn¬ 
sylvania and the South, depending on destination and qunlitv of 
stock desired. The best clumps come from the South, from high 
altitudes. “Collected** Rhododendron catawblense comes only 
from the South. 
MY NURSERIES ARE UNIQUE, being the first to grow Native 
American Ornamentals, and having the only large and complete 
stock of Hardy American Plnnts in existence. 
SHIPPING BEGINS IN AUGUST, when I send out large 
Rhododendrons, Kalmias, and other evergreens, and bulbs and 
herbaceous plants, general stock going out in October and Novem¬ 
ber; and in spring from about March 1 to May 15. Give shipping 
instructions, unless you wish to leave it to me, when 1 use my best 
judgment, but assume no risk. 
EXPORT SHIPMENTS reach the most remote countries in 
perfect condition. I have exported for over twenty-five years, and 
know how to pack. Quarantine and the great war, however, have 
left open practically only Holland and Great Britain to 
our shipments. 
DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGS, illustrated, are mailed on request, 
and advice on the right way to grow Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and 
other native plants is gladly given. Send for "How to Grow Rho¬ 
dodendrons Successfully.” 
VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. Boxford Nursery is 
easily reached by train or automobile, and Mr. Kelsey will be glad 
to meet prospective customers at the nursery by appointment. 
A visit to Boxford Nursery during the blooming season of Rho¬ 
dodendrons and Azaleas is especially worth while.
