We offoi* herewith many rare plants, never before offered to amateurs in saaali 
sizes and at ridiculous prices. They are easier to grow than perennials and for a few 
dollars and a few years' patience you can obtain a collection of plants that would cost 
hundreds at regular retail prices. Establish a small nursery in your garden, planting 
therein a number of items from this list ; then in two to four years you will have some¬ 
thing to give your friends produced by your hands and nothing is more appreciated as a 
gift by most people than a rare plant. So many rare and unusual plants are offered hera 
that we can only give very short descriptions of their beauty. Most of them are 
described in Hotte's books on shrubs and trees, or in “Chinese 1 ’ E. H. Wilson's 
book. Aristocrats of the Garden. Many of the plants listed here were introduced by 
Bt. Wilson. All plants packed well with wet peat moss or sphagnum moss. 
For fS.GQ you can select $8.00 worth of plants from this list. Prices in¬ 
clude packing and postal charges. As «re sell our plants at such low prices no order 
for less than $2.00 will be accepted. No broken lots will be sold. Where order calls

Owing to our carful packing with wet peat moss; the cost of Express and 
Parcel Post to points beyond Rocky Mountains, eliminate the profits. Therefore, please 
add 10% to remittances from these places. 
The group containing Azaleas and Rhododendrons are easy to handle if planted 
in part shade, provided either by a building or a lath screen; this should be elevated 
4* to 5' on stakes to provide free circulation of air underneath. Plant in a soil mix¬ 
ture containing 50% good light garden loam and 50% granulated peat moss or oak leaf mould. 
Water well after planting and mulch with leaf mould or peat moss. Do not cultivate but 
pick weeds out by pulling. Do not allow ground to get dry, but do not water too much 
or too often, there is a happy medium. These plants will all do well in part shade and 
also in sun* Cut off 75% of light for first 6 weeks and then 50%. 
AZALEAS* RHODODENDRONS AND OTHER ACID LOVING PLANTS! 
31 Chinese" E. H* Wilson said, speaking of Azaleas, "They are not surpassed in 
wealth of blossom by any class of hardy shrubs. The flowers vary enormously in size in 
the different species and embrace all shades of every color except blue. In many the 
flowers are delightfully fragrant, — small wonder the desire to possess them is so gen¬ 
eral. No class of shrubs possess greater attractions, and given certain essential con¬ 
ditions and provided the varieties are perfectly hardy their culture is fairly simple,* 
A Philadelphia collection of Azaleas and Rhododendrons is visited each yoar 
by thousands of people who marvel at the brilliant, vivid colors and profusion of bloom, 
which is almost unbelievable, and yet for a few dollars and a bit of patience a more 
extensive range of colors and varieties is available from this list. Transplants are 
one to two years older than seedlings and will make a fair sized blooming plant in on© 
or two years.
