ID you ever see the 
rarely beautiful Blue 
Fringed Gentian? This 
is our perfect photo¬ 
graphic and color record of it, 
as used on the 1905 Catalogue of 
F. H. Horsford, Charlotte, Vt. 
It hints at our resource of illus¬ 
tration, as well as at our skill in 
color printing. We have 8,000 
other pictures, and among them 
are those that will make good 
business for the nurserymen who 
know how to have us use them 
properly, and who back them up 
by good business methods. The 
old fashion of selling trees and 
plants is dying out, but there is 
ready and waiting for the nur¬ 
serymen who are advancing an 
ever-increasing and thoroughly 
profitable business in supplying 
the growing adornments required 
for a million homes in this great 
country. 
These new nurserymen have 
their eyes wide open; they know 
and sell good things, whether 
BLUE FRINGED GENTIAN. . Ill 
new or not; they grow well and 
pack well, and look sharply after the customers who have trusted them. 
They are not booming unworthy “novelties,” for a temporary profit, 
nor are they showing impossible plate-book pictures or absurdly exag¬ 
gerated catalogue illustrations. These relics of a by-gone age are left 
for the dying nurserymen of the old fashion. 
We have the ideas, the pictures, the skill, the experience and the 
facilities to serve the new nurseryman. The other kind,—well, he says 
our prices are too high!
