Express, at the present reduced rates, is satisfactory for medium sized shipments where prompt delivery is required. Parcel Post is recommended only on small orders. Where no directions are given with order we ship by the method which we consider best for the purchaser.
PACKING. A charge is made to cover cost, for packing, when stock is purchased at hundred and thousand rate prices, also in case of large bulky stock, and when plants are dug with carefully preserved balls of earth. No charge is made for packing on small and medium sized stock purchased at less than hundred rates, nor on stock shipped in car load lots.

Visitors are always most cordially welcome. During the spring and fall there are short, intervals, however, when it is quite impossible for us to devote much time to showing parties about the nursery, as these are the most strenuous shipping periods of the entire year.
HOW TO REACH US. Our nurseries and office are located at EDGEWOOD, Edgewood Avenue, near the New Yale Bowl, just beyond Edgewood Park. Auto via Edgewood Avenue or West Chapel Street. Edgewood Trolley cars direct to Nurseries.

Transplanting Directions
Preparing the Soil
No one thing is of more importance to the ultimate development of plants than thorough preparation of the soil. When the natural soil is of a poor quality, replace to a depth of about two feet with a good grade of loam. For a single plant, dig out a hole twice as large as is really necessary to contain its roots. When group plantings are to be made, dig out the whole area. Well rotted manure may be mixed into the soil to good advantage, but always avoid the use of fresh manure in contact with roots of a plant. If the natural drainage is poor, artificial drainage must be made.
Planting
At the time of planting, most plants need a little shaping, both of tops and roots. Since a portion of the root system has been cut away in digging, a corre- sponding portion of the top should be removed. It is best to retain the general shape of the plant, cutting away any weak or injured branches, and about one- third of the previous year’s growth from the end of each branch. Evergreens and stock dug with a ball of earth are exceptions. The root system should be examined and all split or bruised roots removed with a diagonal cut.
Be careful not to set the plant too deep. Place the plant a little deeper than the point at which it is to remain, and carefully spread out all the roots (plants dug with a ball of earth excepted), now shovel in the earth until the roots are covered about two inches. Lift the plant up and down until the soil settles in well and no cavities remain. Throw in more earth and with a blunt stick work well in under the roots. Press down the soil with a firmer or the foot, beginning at the center of the plant and working out. When the hole is filled to within three or four inches of the top, pour in two or three pailfuls of water. Allow this to disappear, and then fill the hole, leaving a slight depression around the plant.
In planting evergreens or other plants dug with a ball of earth, care should be taken to prevent breaking the ball. Place the plant in the hole so that the top of the ball is not more than one inch below the level of the ground. Put in enough soil to hold the plant firmly in place.
Watering and Mulching
After a plant has been set in the ground it should be mulched with manure, leaves or lawn clippings to prevent evaporation of the soil’s ifioisture. When mulching is unsightly or not practical, occasional thorough watering and frequent loosening of the soil serves a similar purpose. The ground around new made plant- ings should never be allowed to become dry.
After Care
Many plantings never receive the after care they require. This applies more especially to house foundation and other intensive plantings of both ever- greens and shrubs. Such plantings are often massed with the plants placed close to one another to produce immediate effects. Unless these plantings are trimmed consistently from season to season, they soon lose their original attractiveness and become ragged and overgrown, whereas if they are given proper care, they improve in appearance from season to season and can be kept within any required limitations.
Deciduous shrubs should be pruned so as to remove a portion of the old wood each year, saving the new growth. By this method each plant is entirely renewed every few years. Judgment must be used in pruning so that as much of the blos- soming wood as possible will remain. This refers especially to Spiraeas, Forsythias, Japan Quinces, etc. Such shrubs as Hydrangeas, Altheas and most roses, bloom on the new growth and are improved by pruning before the spring growth begins.
A little mid-summer pruning is often advantageous, especially where plants are becoming unshapely or are overgrown. Massed plantings of evergreens need careful pruning and shaping each season, otherwise the stronger growers will overcrowd the others. This trimming can be done to advantage just before the new growth starts in the spring.
These brief instructions are only intended to give a few simple pointers. Write to us freely if you have any garden problems which are causing you anxiety. With our wide experience it is probable that we can help you.
Protection
ft is advisable to stake a newly planted tree in locations where the wind blows severely. The continued shaking of the tree prevents the little rootlets from getting a hold in the soil and often results in failure of a plant to grow.
Suitable guards should be provided for all trees planted where exposed to horse bites, hub scars and similar injuries.

KEY TO TYPE
Arrangement
THE following lists are so arranged that quick reference can be made to sizes and prices of the stock we have to offer. We have used a popular classification, as follows:
TREES. Pages 5 to 13. Shedding foliage in the Autumn. Example, Maple. EVERGREENS. Pages 14 to 18. Foliage remaining on tree throughout the year. Example, Norway Spruce.
BROAD-LEAF EVERGREENS. Pages 19 to 20. Foliage remaining throughout the year. Example, Rhodendrons.
SHRUBS. Pages 21 to 28. Shedding foliage in Autumn. Example, Lilac. VINES. Pages 29 to 30. Example, Wisteria.
HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS. Pages 31 to 38. Hardy permanent roots.
Above the ground the growth is renewed annually. Example, Paeoniaj HARDY ROSES. Pages 39 to 41.
FRUIT DEPARTMENT. General list of fruit trees and small fruits. Pages 42 to 45.
The Botanical names are inserted alphabetically in THIS TYPE, under their respective classes, and refer to the popular, common or English names.
Examples — ACER, see Maple; PICEA, see Spruce, Hibiscus, see Althea, etc.
The keen personal pleasure of knowing that one has added to the sum total of the noble trees which develop into greater beauty from year to year is worth many times all the trouble and expense involved. To be able to know that an avenue of trees or even a single tree which is growing into mature beauty and usefulness is a result of ones own personal effort is reward enough for the doing. We are conscious of the importance of trees now about us and what they represent in the practical economy and beauty of our surroundings. Some one has planted them and we are enjoying the benefit. The trees which are in their prime of beauty today will some time disappear. Will we leave for future generations a legacy at least as rich in trees as the one we are enjoying? If so, we must do our share which means Plant more trees.

EVERGREENS are a specialty with us and our collection includes many rare and beautiful varieties as well as a large stock of the more common sorts. We are fortunate in having soil conditions very favorable for their development, both of top and root. We transplant and root-prune all our evergreens frequently, which practically insures their successful transplanting, even the larger specimens.

THE great beauty of the broad leaf evergreens makes them most valuable for gardening purposes. Many are among our most spectacular and gorgeous flowering shrubs, while their broad, attractive leaves show out most effectively during the parts of the year when many trees and plants are without foliage. There is practically no end to the charming results that can be gained by the liberal use of this class of plants. Groupings generally give most attractive effects and the plants themselves do much better when planted this way.

Rhododendrons
Instructions for Planting
BEAUTIFUL and popular Evergreen Shrubs of easiest culture provided a little special care is taken in preparing the ground before planting and especially if a location is selected which is not exposed to the severest winter winds or the all-the-day sunshine. Rhododendrons are lovers of moderate climatic conditions. Such a location can usually be selected. If such a one does not obtain it is perfectly practical to create it by plantings of tall growing evergreens, shrubs, etc. Rhododendrons produce the best effects when planted in groups and generous masses, either of a single color or a mixture of contrasting colors. The location where these are to be planted should first of all be well drained and if not so naturally, drainage must be arranged, as Rhododendrons will not otherwise thrive.
The root system of a Rhododendron is largely made up of fine hair-like roots closely centered about the root trunk and near the surface.
They will not thrive if located where the soil becomes very dry for any con- siderable period. Following the conditions which prevail in nature where Rho- dodendrons thrive most happily, we find them at their best where the soil is mostly loose loam with a surfacing of leaf mould, conditions which permit of the soil remaining moist but never becoming very wet nor very dry. Create soil conditions similar to nature’s way and one will succeed bountifully.
Dig out the soil over the entire area where the planting is to be made to a depth of at least 15 inches (2 feet is better).
Remove of this soil all which does not prove to be good garden loam. Replace the good soil and enough other good garden loam to amply fill in the space. The addition of five per cent, well composted manure is beneficial. Be sure to avoid lime in ahy form as it is fatal to the roots of both Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

These are the beautiful varieties usually used in the gardens and parks and which produce such a profusion of gorgeous blooms in such a variety of rich colors. The varieties we offer have all proved hardy at the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, and can be depended upon to give very satisfactory results.

CHOICE HARDY GARDEN ROSES are a special feature of our business, many thousands of them being sold annually from our largelfields of roses at Wood- mont, Conn. Most experienced buyers of roses prefer strong field-grown stock, all ready to make a good showing of both vigorous growth and blossoms. This is the only grade we offer. Any Rose plants we may have that do not come up to this standard are left in the field to grow on for another year before being offered for sale, so purchasers can depend on the roses we send out always being of a uniformrgrade.
Distance Apart to Plant. Rose gardens are usually most effective when planted in beds or borders wide enough to allow for at least three rows of plants. This is, of course, subject to local conditions. If planted in beds seven feet wide this allows for three rows set 2J4 feet apart and a margin of a foot for outside borders. A rose bed ten feet long and seven feet wide will call for one dozen roses if planted 2J4 feet apart each way. A rose bed twenty-five feet long requires thirty plants. It is desirable to place the strongest growing varieties in the center row. If the border is in the foreground of a fence, wall or other dividing line, the strongest growing roses should be planted in the back row, also climbing roses should be planted in the background about six feet apart, and trained over some support. This will add to the effect and the climbing roses will not interfere with the others. It is desirable, when a number of roses are used, to plant enough of each kind in a group to produce a solid effect of color.
If desiring advice on Rose-Gardens, we will be glad to have you inquire of us for general information. We are sure we can assist you.
Directions for planting card may be had by applying at our office.
Hybrid Tea and other Perpetual Blooming Roses
These roses are the product of crossing the hybrid-perpetual-roses with the tender tea-roses. They are, as a class, not so strong growers as the hybrid-perpet- uals, and not quite so hardy to extremes of winter, but will repay any extra care they may demand for protection. The flowers have all the refinement of the tea-roses in color, texture and fragrance, and bloom quite freely during the summer. There is now no excuse for not having in the Northern gardens, a profusion of beautiful roses during the entire summer, and as fine ones as anywhere in the world.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses
This splendid class of vigorous, hardy roses is the result of crossing the favorite old garden roses with the less vigorous and less hardy tea roses.

FRUIT growing on a large scale is one of the country’s profitable industries. The fortunate few who have large orchards of bearing apples and other fruit trees, which have been properly cared for, are now reaping rich rewards. No part of the United States offers better opportunities than New England for the producing of highly flavored and richly colored fruit. In a lesser way, the home acre and the smaller city garden, offer opportunities for the producing of an abund- ant crop of fruit which should not be neglected. Aside from the utility feature, there is the genuine pleasure, delight and healthful recreation which is a reward for those who set out and care for a few trees, vines, and berry plants.
