The Finest Trees and Shrubs | 
We offer new seeds of all of the following 
Trees and Shrubs, but wish to caution you that 
many kinds of Tree and Shrub seeds are tardy 
in starting. Some are nuts and need to be filed 
before planting; others have impervious covering 
which retards germination, All should be sown in 
a retired bed which will not be disturbed for two 
or three years. Some will start in a reasonable 
time, and these can be removed. Germination, 
however, is variable and more or less tardy.
