 outdoor talks and examination of the 

 plants. Unless otherwise notified the 

 class will meet promptly at 10 o'clock 

 in the morning, on Saturdays, in the 

 Arboretum, at the Forest Hills en- 

 trance. 



The class will open Saturday, April 

 15th, and close June 24th. Two hours 

 will be devoted to each meeting. Dur- 

 ing the season the class may meet two 

 or three times outside of the Arbore- 

 tum at some favorable place for the 

 study of trees. These meetings may 

 each take up a half-day. The course Is

^We understand some people 

 are offended occasionally by 

 our advertising. Now we 

 don't expect to please every- 

 body and we are always willing 

 to be criticised, for none of us 

 are perfect in our lives ; but 

 it seems strange that no one 

 will write us just why they 

 are offended. Some people 

 like to be lathered with flattery 

 and then massaged with ego- 

 tistical slush. It makes them 

 feel their oats, as the farmer 

 says, and as soon as they are 

 truthstruck it paralyzes them. 

 Their judgment is so warped 

 that their thoughts run like a 

 scenic railway car. Be a man 

 and use common sense. If 

 we are wrong, criticise us — 

 we want criticism. The only 

 difference between us and 

 some other firms in this line 

 is that we tell you right out 

 what we think while the others 

 think the same but say noth- 

 ing. Don't be afraid of just 

 criticism — you ought to be 

 thankful for it. 



^ Our goods we praise be- 

 cause we sincerely believe 

 they are positively the best 

 imported. We don't care 

 what others say nor what the 

 prices of other firms are — we 

 make our own prices and we 

 deliver the goods — the best 

 money can buy.
