Growing Pains 



CONTRARY to all "off years" tales 

 — our factory has been so rushed 

 the last half of 1913. that it has 

 been difficult to make deliveries as 

 promptly as has been our custom. 



To make matters still more difficult, 

 we have been increasing our factory by 

 fully a third. 



But now these "growing pains" are 

 about over and from now on you can de- 

 pend on our deliveries being as prompt 

 as of yore.

MR. GARDENER: 



Let That Tree Die, and 



You Will Never See 



It Replaced 



YOU KNOW how long it has taken that tree to 

 attain those stately proportions. 



YOU KNOW how irreparable the loss should it die. 



YOU KNOW how imminent is the danger from in- 

 sects and fungi. 



YOU KNOW how devitalising, how unsightly, and 

 how difficult to reach is that dead 

 wood. 



YOU KNOW how surely fatal are those neglected 

 cavities — neglected decaying stumps, 

 neglected wounds, neglected borer 

 holes are the causes. 



Then Why Wait Longer? Time Is Precious. 



CALL US IN 



WE HAVE the KNOWLEDGE, the EXPERI- 

 ENCE, the MEN, the TOOLS.
