A LL plants listed in this folder may be depended on to give 
immediate blooming effect. We have eliminated seedlings 
and small plants requiring years of growth before bloom¬ 
ing. Even those offered in Group 9 should bloom substantially 
the first year, and for that reason only heavily rooted clumps are 
being offered. Heretofore, when ordering plants of this type, in 
addition to the first cost of the plants you had to pay for the 
transportation, which usually equaled, or in some cases exceeded 
the first cost. Now, if your order amounts to as much as $5.00, 
we pay the transportation cost, and you know just what the plants 
are going to cost you. Therefore, our prices are not higher but in 
many cases are much lower than those quoted by other dealers, as 
the plants are all guaranteed to live at least one year and be satis¬ 
factory. We do not believe that you will ever have a better op¬ 
portunity to landscape your grounds. 
We suggest that you select a few of the first-grade plants for 
the most prominent positions and then one or more of the groups. 
If you desire further information, do not hesitate to write us. 
We guarantee satisfaction and will replace any plant that 
fails to grow, free within one year, at Nursery. 
All orders of $5.00 or over are shipped by Freight, fully pre¬ 
paid if you live east of the Mississippi River; if you live west, we 
will prepay to that point and you pay the remainder upon receipt. 
Small orders amounting to less than $5.00 will be shipped 
by Express unless otherwise directed. Give us the name of your 
nearest Freight or Express station. 
Now— 
you CAN BEAUTIFY YOUR 
HOME GROUNDS WITH 
Rhododendrons 
and Mountain Laurel 
Vou can beautify the grounds about your home and greatly 
increase the value of your property by planting Rhododen¬ 
drons now, at the lowest price that you will probably ever pay 
for these magnificent evergreen shrubs. 
Rhododendron plantings usually have been associated with 
large and rich estates; you have probably read of their enor¬ 
mous popularity on the estates in England and with the royal 
family. Many large American estates have adopted them as 
their favorite, and since they have been made obtainable at 
moderate prices, many American homes have also chosen 
them. There have been many failures because of attempts to 
grow seedlings or light plants; it takes many, many years 
to develop worth-while specimen clumps of the sizes listed 
in this folder. 
You can have a Rhododendron garden yourself. Just send 
us a sketch or describe your grounds and we will gladly make 
suggestions for landscaping and planting. 
Combined with Mountain Laurel and Azaleas, Rhododen¬ 
drons are unexcelled for year-round beauty, and if reasonable 
care is taken in planting them and a few simple directions ob¬ 
served in their culture, everybody may enjoy the magnificence 
of their bloom and their handsome, broad-leaved foliage 
throughout the winter. 
Rhododendrons, Kalmias, and Azaleas are ideally adapted 
to naturalistic rock-gardens, formal sunken gardens, outdoor
