AMERICAN FORESTRY'S ADVERTISERS 



Every Water Supply in America should be Protected by Timber 



Is the spring from which comes your drinking 

 water sufficiently protected? 



If it and the surrounding water shed is not covered 

 with growing timber, rain and melting snow will 

 run off in torrents, soil will erode, sun and air will 

 dry up moisture, stagnant pools will form and breed 

 germs and gather imjiurities and with the tirst rains 

 wash down and pollute your water supply. 



But if a forest covers, the land, whether the area 

 is half an acre or a hundred thousand acres, snow 

 and rain will be held and filtered, then gradually 



released. Springs will be never-failing, and streams 

 constantly flow pure and undefiled. The timber plant- 

 ing can be made to yield $40 an acre every year 

 after tne tenth. It will enhance the beauty of your 

 community, and make it a better place to live in. 



You should learn about this. You should know 

 how to proceed to plant, if you own the land, or how 

 to get yovir city to act if the water supply is con- 

 trolled by the municipality. Climate, soil and in- 

 dustrial requirements are all in favor of extensive 

 tree planting. 



Start with HilFs Trees this Year 



The D. Hill Nursery Company, Inc., are growers 

 of seedlings and transplanted trees for forest planting, 

 and have specialized in this for over 50 years. We 

 have the facilities, the men, and the skill necessary 

 to grow and handle them right. Our central situa- 

 tion, enables us to deliver stock to both seaboards 

 in two or three days. 



Our climate and soil are eminently adapted for the 

 best root and top growth. Our stock is acclimated. 



These points largely determine the success or failure 

 of any planting. 



We have recently published a valuable little book 

 entitled "The Forest Planters' Guide," which every 

 one interested in forestry should have. Its suggestions 

 will be found helpful and its descriptions truthfttl. 

 It contains a whole lot of "boiled down" information. 

 We will send you your copy today — free — if you 

 state where you saw this advertisement. Write today 

 and tell us about your situation and plans for planting.

We Want To Buy 

 Some of Your Pine Trees 



SOME of your forest pine trees, eight to ten 

 feet high, that are just beginning to touch one 

 another. Trees that it will improve your tim- 

 ber to have removed. We will send men to dig the 

 trees, to ship out during August or in the Winter 

 and Spring. 



Prefer to make arrangements by which we could 

 get trees for several years. A forest location not 

 more than three miles from railway station desired. 

 Write giving location of forest tract, and if 

 available for our needs, we will come and talk over 

 the arrangements.
