HIS catalogue is is- 
sued to list and de- 
scribe the different 
things we have to sell. 
We would appreciate 
any orders that you 
may send us and same 
shall have our best at- 
tention. Should you 
decide, however, ‘to 
order elsewhere, we 
hope that you will 
make your purchases 
of actual nurserymen 
or seedsmen, by either 
going to their place of 
business or ordering 
of them by mail. We 
have no sympathy 
with the indiscrimin- 
ate handling of nur- 
sery stock by Tom, 
Dick and Harry. It is 
a peculiar product, 
very perishable and 
must be handled ex- 
peditiously, with a 
proper knowledge of 
all conditions, or the 
results are disastrous. 
The real nurseryman 
has a reputation to 
make and retain and 
he can only retain it 
by giving good ser- 
vice. If you patronize 
a hot dog stand or a 
depariment store for 
your nursery supplies, 
you do not know what 
you are getting; when 
it was dug from the 
ground; or how it has 
been handled since. 
The average clerk who 
passes out these 
bundles of trees and 
plants from a= stand 
or store, doesn’t know 
a spirae bush from a 
tag alder. Established 
nurseries have men to 
wait on you who are 
thoroughly trained 
and know their busi- 
ness. 
If you order of us by 
mail or in person, you 
have the privilege of 
consulting with our L. 
J.) Parmer. on) swith 
men who have been 
with us for 20 years 
or more. Customers 
frequently write us 
that the information 
we give them regard- 
ing the selection of 
the right varieties and 
how to care for them, 
is- worth more to them 
than what they pay us 
for the stock. As an 
illustration of what we can do for you, suppose you want to know 
how to care for rhododendrons or azaleas; improved blueberries; how 
to train dewberries; plant asparagus roots; trim grape vines; or how

thousand things that 
must be done about a 
garden or fruit farm. 
We will be glad to en-

one of these subjects

we will get some one 
who can.
