j^iHE towering maples, 

 V-/ ])incs and spruces on 

 ^S^ many an estate, and 

 the sturdy, fruit- 

 ladon apple, pear and 

 l)each trees you see in 

 many well-kept orchards, 

 were planted with Thor- 

 burn's Seeds. 



For 116 years we have 

 been studying the nature 

 of trees; the causes of 

 vigorous, healthy growth ; 

 the soils best adapted to 

 each species, and espe- 

 cially the kind of SEEDS 

 that can be depended on 

 to produce 



HEALTHY 



STRONG 



BEAUTIFUL 



TREES 



<Jn the quality of the seeds 

 the trees depend aBsolutely ; 

 too much care cannot be taken 

 to see that they are perfect. 

 Whether you wish large- 

 leaved, luxuriantly-fohaged 

 shade trees for your home, 

 lu'avily laden fruit bearers 

 for your orchards, or forest 

 trees on some great tract of 

 land, Thorburn's Seeds can be 

 depended on to make yoiu^ 

 planting a success. 



Thorburn's Grass Seed for 

 lawns and links and Thor- 

 burn's vegetable and flower 

 seeds are unsurpassed in 

 ijuality. 



We shall be pleased to mail
