"A thing of beauty is a joy forever; 
Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness*" 
It is the Nurseyman's Forte—To help make a garden more beautiful-—more glamourous. 
For many years interest in gardens has been growing steadily—still many do not have the 
wherewithal to see their dreams carried to fruition. 
It would seem now that with the issuing of this small bulletin the hopes and de¬ 
sires of many flower loving people could be realized. Large plants are expensive and 
ofttimes the transplanting of them at great distances inadvisable—even impossible. So— 
Why not start a small nursery of your own and by means of patience, persistence 
and affection nurture these small plants we have to offer? Within a few years for a few 
dollars you will have a priceless collection of rare and unusual garden material. 
The plants we have to offer are vividly described in Hotte's Book on Shrubs 
@ $3.00 postpaid and Book on Trees at $3.50 postpaid. We can supply both. All plants should 
be grown in a bed for one or more years before planting in permanent place. 
For $5.00 you can select $8.00 worth of plants from this list. Prices in¬ 
clude packing and postal charges. As ■as sell our plants at such low prices no o rder 
for less than $2.00 w ill be accepted. No broken lots will be sold. Where order calls 
for 5 for 50 cts., one wili not be sold for 10 cts. 5 must be ordered. 25 sold at 100 rate.

Owing to our careful packing with wet peat aoas f the cost of Express and 
Parcel Post to points beyond Rooky Mountains, eliminate th* profits. Therefore, please 
add 10% to remittances from these places.

AZALEAS, RHODODENDRONS AND OTHER ACID LOVING PLANTS* 
"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 embraae 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. Nc class of shrubs possess greater attractions, and given certain essential con¬ 
ditions and provided the varieties are perfectly hardy their culture is fairly simple,■
