F. H. HORSFORD CHARLOTTE, VERMONT 
This Catalog... . 
marks the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Horsford Nurs- 
eries. It might also be called a “Victory List” as it represents our attempt 
to give you a complete list with descriptions of our offering of Lilies, Peren- 
nials, Vines, Shrubs, Trees etc. in the briefest, most concise and economical 
way possible, in keeping with the times and conditions. We must win the 
war, yet we should not give up our flowers and gardens for they have been 
the mark of civilization since the beginning of history. 


PRICES 
Quality considered, we do not believe the values we offer can be equalled 
anywhere in the North. We’ve had to price a few varieties above the 
average for their type because of the difficulty of growing plants that 
measure up to our standards, but in general all perennials, all rock-garden 
plants, etc., each carry a standard price. 
SPECIALTIES 
In pursuance of our aim to handle only the best in the hardy plant line 
we are offering this year only those Hardy Lilies that we can certify as free 
of the insidious mosaic disease. ‘This step precludes our offering some 
varieties we formerly carried and postpones delivery of others until autumn. 
See page 11 of this Catalog for further information. 
Our list of Hardy Chrysanthemums includes the latest introductions in 
the varieties that are truly hardy and that will flower early enough to escape 
damage from frost. 
In the Hybrid Lilacs, often called “French Lilacs” we are handling only 
plants grown on their own roots. ‘This ensures our customers the best and 
most satisfactory stock obtainable. While our list is somewhat limited at 
present, we have a number of varieties in stock not offered in this Catalog 
and invite your writing us for any desired sort not listed on page 24. 
NOTICE: Regarding small lots of assorted plants or shrubs. 
One to four plants of one identical kind or color will be priced at the each rate, 
except in the case of perennials where the rate for three of the same kind is 
60 cents. 
This is necessary as each different kind or color has to be wrapped and labeled 
separately and considerable time is required to assemble an order made up of 
small lots of kinds that are widely separated over the nursery.
