Shade trees grown as they should 

 be grown, with straight stems and 

 properly formed heads are often 

 hard to find. There is a big demand 

 for such from buyers who know their 

 value, and at Bobbink & Atkins nur- 

 series in Rutherford, N. J., particular 

 effort is being put out in this direc- 

 tion, with the result that they have 

 a remarkably handsome stock of 

 oaks, elms, maples, lindens, etc., 

 ready for the coming spring sales.

"IMPURE" FRUIT TREES. 



A tree, as it grows in the nursery, 

 can hardly be called manufactured 

 goods. It is a product of nature and 

 therefore unadulterated. But hold a 

 bit! Under the laws of Illinois a nur- 

 seryman has been arrested for selling 

 impure fruit trees — that is to say, trees 

 infested with scale. That is a good 

 law. Buyers ought to be protected 

 from the serious menace of that costly 

 Insect. Because a commodity is a prod- 

 uct of nature is no more justification 

 for its sale, if infected with disease, 

 than a tubercular cow, or doctored 

 milk or any other disease-germ carrier.
