 tion of trees to your soil and 

 climate. It offers trees for 

 dry and acid soils and moist 

 soils in the same region. 

 Many nurseries on alkaline

 oaks and pines.

 guaranteed to grow satis- 

 factorily or replaced free.

Farm Forestry for Farmers 



A special course on the farm woodlot is 

 being given at the New York State College 

 of Agriculture at Cornell University. Like 

 all the other courses offered during the 

 winter, this course is free to residents of 

 New York State. The object of the course 

 is to demonstrate that the farm woodlot 

 may be made a permanent and profitable 

 source of income to the farmer. In addi- 

 tion to the one lecture a week, three Satur- 

 day afternoons will be given to trips to 

 neighboring woodlots, or to such places as 

 are of interest to owners of woodlots. 



OAKS 



For $25.00 cash we will 

 send you, carefully packed, 

 1000 each of Black, Pin, Red and 

 Scarlet Oaks, 6-12 inches, or 500 each 

 for $15.00. 1000 each 12-18-inch 

 White Ash, Catalpa Speciosa, White 

 Elm, Black Locust, Russ Mulberr>' and 

 Butternut for $20.00. The above are
