[printed] A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS, FOR SALE AT THE PLEASANT GROVE NURSERY, MARENGO, MCHENRY CO., ILLS. BY ROGERS, WOODARD & CO.

This Nursery is situated on the line of the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad, 65 miles west of Chicago.

It has been our aim to propagate Fruit Trees of varieties the most hardy and productive; Plants and Shrubs the most hardy and choice.

TERMS: Cash or good assurance required. For packing, the cost of material only will be charged, and no charge for delivering at the Marengo depot.

In ordering, do it as early in the Fall as possible, as Trees buried in dry earth keep safely, and are at hand to set early the coming Spring; but Trees generally do as well or better, set in the Fall.
