Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue and Price List: Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubbery, Roses, Etc., Catalogue for Fall of 1902 and Spring of 1903 In winter, all sheltered, all cuddled in rows The most wonderful berry that grows. In Autumn well shrouded with litter and leaves It goes into slumber nor grieves O'er season vanished, but joyous it whiles And reposes in virtue and smiles, For legacy left to women and men, Returning in praises again and again. It is waiting the hour when-nature's design Shall break its vailed glories benign, To transport of morning and new life to bring By Amor's creation, the passion of spring.
