To Our Customers:
We have been in the Nursery business in Osaka for the past ‘twenty years, and have supplied, indirectly, both European and American importers with Trees, Plants, Bulbs, Seeds, etc.
For the past three years we have made direct importations of nursery stock and have extended our business this year by estab- lishing an experimental Garden on Columbia Road, Dorchester, Mass., near Bird Street Station, New England Railroad, where we keep in stock a large variety of Japanese trees and plants.
Our Mr. Kosaburo Nishi, an expert nurseryman, who has had a long and varied experience of thirty years in the business, takes the direct charge.
Our Trees, Plants, Bulbs, etc., have been cultivated free from any harmful insect, and with long tried skill and experience, and any large orders will be promptly executed and delivered in time.
Peonia Moutan, Acer Palmatum, Cycas Revoluta, and Lily Bulbs, much admired in Europe and America, are what we cul- tivate on a large scale.
We take much pleasure in presenting you our catalogue for 1898, and we hope you will give us, if not a large one, at least a
trial order. We remain,
Yours respectfully,
JAPANESE -NURSERY.
