MORE THAN PLANTS alone is offered you. Through our Landscape Depart- 
ment and Trained Horticulturists we are prepared to give our customers the 
best of landscape service and advice on all horticultural matters. 
TO MAKE THIS CATALOG A REAL PLANTING GUIDE we try to be honest 
and frank. Most varieties of plant material have some faults as well as merits 
and in this book we endeavor to tell you both, contrary to the usual catalog 
that lists only the merits and lets you discover the faults after planting. We 
believe it only fair to the planter and the plants to tell what our experience 
and the experience of others has shown to be characteristics of each variety. 
OUR PLANTS ARE HARDY. The question is often asked us as to hardiness of 
our plants in States farther north than Virginia. We are located in the western 
part of the state, where the altitude is high and Winter temperatures range 
to twenty degrees below zero. For nearly twenty years we have been selling stock 
throughout the eastern part of the United States and Canada with satisfac- 
tory results and our stock will grow anywhere the same varieties from any 
other source will grow. 
ALL VARIETIES ARE TESTED. We test ourselves, or rely on competent sources 
for testing, all the varieties listed in our Planting Guide. Hundreds of new 
varieties come on the market each year, some of real merit, others mediocre or 
worthless, and we exercise great care to offer only those varieties which give 
definite proof of value. YORKING, our new Apple, is an example of our effort 
to give you the best in new varieties. 
YOU MAY RELY UPON THE DESCRIPTIONS in our Planting Guide as weare 
conservative in our opinions and careful in our selection of varieties for our trade.
