MAIN ENTRANCE TO ROSE HILL NURSERIE3 The 'Beautifying of Country Homes IZ.BRE.CHT & SON, after a full generation's experience in the beautifying of country and city homes through the refining agency of flowers, plants and trees, ofiler with confidence their unequaled collection of the essentials of arboreal and floral decoration. With our extensive establishment at Rose Hill, New Rochelle, New York, and with long-established foreign connections as well, we are in a position to know and to grow the best plants and trees. Close to New York City as we are, and with active branches in that city, we are at the focus of the most critical demands that can be made upon a horticultural estab- lishment. Our rapidly extending business is the best proof of our ability to meet the utmost requirements of a discriminating clientele. We invite those interested in the best trees and plants to look over the assort- ment given in the following pages, and to correspond with us freely. A convenient order form will be found at the back of this little book. (3) Siebrecht & Son • Rose Hill 'Murseries • ^ielv %pchelle, T^elv York ^ No. «J STATE OF NEW YORK.

We are always glad to welcome visitors and customers to Rose Hill Nurseries, and cordially invite them to come and personally inspect our stock before ordering. If this is not convenient we would suggest that pros- spective purchasers of nur- sery stock, in dealing with nurserymen, insist upon having samples submitted before placing their orders. In this way only can there be honest competition be- tween nurserymen. Boxes and Packing. These will be charged for, but only to an amount sufficient to cover material and labor. We advise using boxes in all cases, and when the matter is left to us we will do so. On orders for car-load lots there will be no charge for packing. Prices. The prices contained in this Catalogue are the lowest consistent with the quality of the stock we send out. In the case of large orders we make a substantial reduction upon these prices, and will be pleased to submit quotations upon application. Those desiring trees for lawn planting or for streets and drives, should in all cases specify the diameter of the trunk of tree (caliper measurement) they desire. Our prices are calculated according to the height, caliper, fullness, form and variety of the stock, and unless all these points are taken into consideration in comparing our prices with those of other nurserymen, it prevents fair business competition. In the matter of shrubbery, no fair com- petition can be maintained unless prospective buyers specify the heig,hl and fullness of the plant. If shrubs arc wanted for ornamental purposes or for immediate effect, it is economy to buy plants illustrated by draw- ing No. i; if they are wanted merely to grow in an obscure place, and the matter of time is not a factor, slim and cheap plants like No. 2 might answer every purpose. See the engravings illustrating these points. Qive Plain Directions. All customers are requested, when ordering by mail or otherwise, to give plain addresses and explicit directions as to how they (4) Map showing the large cities within a radius of 2$o miles of New Rochelle Siebrecht & Son • Hose Hill Tjurseries ■ fjeiv %pchelle, Nelv York desire their stock shipped — whether by freight or express. When directions are not received by us, we will exercise our best judgment, and fir- ward goods to the best advantage of the pur- chaser, but our responsibility for safe arrival ceases when we deliver stock in good condition to the transportation companies. When we do the planting we guarantee growth, as noted below. New Customers and those unknown to us are kindly requested to accompany their orders with cash, post-office order, draft on New York, or satisfactory reference. Shipping Facilities. Our shipping facilities are unsurpassed. We ship all express goods by Adams Ex- press, which allows 20 per cent discount upon nursery stock. Goods by freight go by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, direct to all points north and northeast, or by the New York and New Rochelle Transportation Co., which transfers at New York City to all steamers, freight and express companies.

Nelv York The Moving of Large Trees _ For many years we have made aospecialty of this branch of the nursery business, and every year u IS growing in importance and value. By the moving of large trees as practiced by us it is possible to create effects that were not dreamed of a short time ago, and, now that we have demonstrated its possibilities, we have often been called upon to convert in a short time a barrea piece of the countryside into a place which, by the slow growth of nature,, would take at least fifty years to produce. We pay a great deal of attention ta the growing of large stock for trans- planting, and by careful and consistent- cultivation, combined with frequent- moving in the nursery, produce decidu- ous and evergreen trees with great quan» titles of fibrous roots, insuring their safe- removal at almost any time of the year,, under proper conditions. The illustration on this page shows ai Norway Maple transplanted from our nursery when its trunk measured eight inches in diameter. This tree was moved in early spring, and the photograph was. taken the following summer. In the same picture are a number of evergreens- transplanted at the same time, producing an effect otherwise obtainable only by- many years of growth. One year before the photograph repro- duced on page 20 was taken, the prop- erty in the picture was a bleak and barren field. By means of the extra-large stock of Norway Maples we supply for street planting and the judicious transplanting of large deciduous and evergreen trees, we converted the place into a home, such as could have been made only by the growth of a generation of years. Thus it will be seen that it is possible to transform a wilderness inta a thing of beauty, and no one need be deterred from building a country home by reason of a lack of trees and shrubbery in the particular place they desire to build. All the prospective buyer need do is to. supply the place, and ve will furnish plans, specifications and material for its planting on any scale. We also make a feature of transplanting trees from one part of the country to another, no matter how large they may be. Show us the tree and we will place it anywhere you wish. We shall be pleased lo hear from those interested in the subject of transplanting large trees and: •hrubbery, as with the improved machinery we have for the purpose, and our magnificent stock ot material, we are in a position to execute the largest, as well as the smallest, schemes of planting.

AMERICAN CEDAR AMERICAN CEDARS Of all our grand native evergreen trees there is none better adapted for quick and lasting pictur- esque effects on the lawn or in mass planting than the American Cedar. It will grow in any position and any climate, and is particularly adapted to places where the soil is poor and the climate hot and dry. The trees grow to good size and retain their foliage clear to the ground, and will stand any amount of shearing and trimming when special shapes are wanted. In fact, this tree is the most satisfactory ever- green tree that can be grown, and we make a specialty of furnishing them from 12 to 20 feet in height for immediate effect. We have a particularly fine lot of these trees growing in our nursery, and would suggest to prospective buyers to visit us and make their own selection of stock. We can supply these trees in any quantity for $4.75 to Jfi2.50 each, according to size. In comparing our prices with those of other nurserymen, the height, diameter, fullness, quality and vigor of stock should be considered. When that is done our prices will be found to be among the lowest. (15) Siebrecht & Son ■ 'Rose Hill Nurseries • Ne\v 'Rochelle.

We can furnish large specimen evergreens from 5 to 15 feet high, in almost every variety GROUP OF EVERGREENS AT ROSE HILL NURSERIES (16) HEOGE OF PINUS CORSICA AT NEW YORK RESIDENCE OF J. PIERPON T MORGAN HILDQi: PLANTS In planting hedges, care should be taken to secure a quantity of good top-soil with which lo fill in about the roots of the plants. This is especially the case when evergreens are used, as they require a great deal of nourishment to keep them healthy and of a good, rich color. Well-rotted stable manure should also be worked in the trench with the soil. Do not cramp the roots in a small, narrow trench; dig a good, wide one so that the roots can be spread out fiat and still not touch the sides •of it. Mulch well after planting. 'Ebergreens, running in size from 12 to 24 inches, can be planted about 8 to 12 inches apart in the rows; but the larger sizes, from z'/z to 3^ feet, must be set about 18 inches apart. They should be pruned when planted; it tends to make the plants more bushy, making the shaping of the hedge an easy matter afterwards. Deciduous Plants. — The distance these should be set apart will depend mainly upon the character of the plants. One- and two-year-old seedlings or cuttings should be set about 6 inches apart, though if planted in a double row they may be set 8 inches apart.

(35) BED OF HAROY AZALEAS DILCIDUOUS SHRUBS figures follolving the name indicate about the height of the shriti> at maturity The demand for hardy deciduous shrubs is continually increasing; more people every year are learning to appreciate the beauty and utility of this class of plants, and to meet the demand we have been paying particular attention to their culture, so that we believe our collection is unexcelled in the country. To keep pace with the requirements of modern landscape architects, we have included many native species of imdoubted excellence, and the later introductions from Japan and elsewhere. An annual application of old, well-rotted manure or rich compost must be dug into the soil around shrubs to obtain favorable results, and a slight trimming of over- luxuriant branches will prove beneficial.

Siebrecht & Son Hose Hill Nurseries • Nelv Hochelle, Nelv York HYUAMID Apples PALMETTE FOR FENCE PURPOSES Trained Fruit Trees \Vc make a specialty of trained fruit trees, and recommend them fur certain kinds of planting. They are intended more for ornamental work than for commercial planting, and have many good points to recommend them to those who wish to grow fruit upon tlieir places without sacrificing the ornamental features of their grounds. A famous French authority gives the following reasons why the training of fruit trees is particularly vahiable to those who wish tocombine beauty and utility in the growingof fruit for home purposes : " I . It enables us to impart to trees a form suitable to the place they are intended to occupy. "2. Each of the principal branches of the tree is furnished with fruit branches throughout its full extent. "3. It renders the fructification more equal ; for in removing every year the super- abundant buds and branches, we contribute to the formation of new fruit-buds for the next year. 4. It conduces to the production of large fruit and of fine quality."

As a climbing or running Rose it has no equal. The foliage is rich, dark green, the growth rapid ; but its great beauty is when the plant is covered with a profusion of the brightest crimson double flowers, which remain on a long time. Dawson. Hardy, vigorous ; tendency to climb high. Flowers in clusters, similar to Rosa multiftora. They are of a very deep pink color and quite full; very fragrant. Jersey Beauty.

No shrub in the whole category lends itself so well to all conditions; and it is equally satisfactory to those who are able to have but one plant, and those whose estates admit of planting in masses by car-load lots. As a small specimen on the lawn no plant used for this purpose is more beautiful; and planted in masses, especially when backed by the dark green foliage of conifers, they are distinctly rich and effective. . , . , -j t»« • j We especially recommend Rhododendrons, either Maximum or the many hybrids of Maximum and Catawbiense, for naturalizing in woods, where they soon make themselves at home, for the planting- along drives and for the forming of backgrounds of hardy perennial borders. Many of the beautiful and hardy Japan lilies grow and thrive well beneath the foliage of the Rhododendron, and send up their long spikes of handsome flowers almost immediately after the Rhododendrons have shed their blooms All sorts of ferns and almost all hardy perennial plants thrive finely among Rhododendrons One of our special features is the planting of borders, masses, etc., with Rhododendrons and hardy herbaceous perennials, and will be pleased to submit plans, specifications and prices for this work upon application; or to those who contemplate doing their own planting we will send estimates for Rhodo- dendrons in large quantities, up to car-load lots. . , . r c u i i .

All are long-lived, hardy, of dense, compact growth, and have dark green glossy leaves. They are used for grouping, edging walks, planting against house foundations, for low hedges, and in tubs for formal gardens, terraces and porches. As they are perfectly hardy, there has been a great demand for them for vases and cemetery decoration. Will grow in sun or shade, but prefer the latter.

This stock can be offered 3t a lower price; but when jou consider the time it takes to grow it, and that Box- wood is the slowest- growing of all plants, we would ad- vise using a heavier grade, as you get more roots, stronger plants and immediate effect. The advantage of buying the heavier grade is at once apparent, as, to produce the desired effect, the edging must be thick and compact. $18 to $16 each $15 to $25 each Trimmed and Trained forms of Box Trees and Taxus rOR ITALIAN QARDE,NS We carry a large stock of these odd - shaped trees and bushes.

We assure any one interested in this class of stock that a personal inspection would be of great interest and value, and the chances for mutual satisfaction are naturally much stronger than if they are selected by catalogue descriptions. $3S to $76 each AQUATICS Water-gardening is one of the delightful and refreshing fads for summer time. Water-lilies and other aquatic plants can be grown so easily that cool little ponds, tubs or spacious tanks dimpled with their flowers are now favorite spots in all the best-planned gardens. The tender sorts can be removed to greenhouse or cellar upon the approach of winter, and, if not allowed to freeze or become dry, can easily be wintered over. Hardy sorts will succeed well in any stream or pond, and stand the winters in latitudes where the water does not freeze to the bottom of the pond. We are well prepared to supply fine stock of these beautiful plants, and can give larger and stronger plants, true to name, for less money than any other firm. Special attention is asked for our stock of the finest nelumbium in the world— A', album ^randifinrum — and to our remarkably low price for it.
