Many Nvirseries Have Advertising 



But 



Moons Have The Goods 



POR our headline we owe apologies to St. Louis, where they say, 

 ^ "Many cities have their slogan, but St. Louis has the goods." This 

 heading is especially appropriate for our advertising, because what we 

 catalog we have. 



Ours is a Nursery where we raise'what we sell to a greater extent than is 

 customary. The accompanying pictures'speak a plainer story than words. Let 

 us only add that you mail Moons your Tree and Shrub lists for prices and ask 

 for our catalogs in which Superintendents and Gardeners will be especially 

 interested, because of the fund of information they contain about Hardy Trees 

 and Plants for Every Place and Purpose.

THE MEDFORD (MASS.) HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



At the monthly inci'tiuy- of the Jlcdford 

 (Mass.) HortieultMial Society on February 

 23, Wm. N. Craig of Brooklyn f;ave a lecture 

 on "The preparations of soils for spring 

 planting; how, when anil what fo plant." 

 Mr. Craig spoke for about an hour, stronaly 

 condcnniing the slipshod manner in which 

 farm and garden soils are quite often pre- 

 pared for planting. His renuirks on insects 

 and other pests, with rcmerlies for combating 

 them, were especially instructive. His ex" 

 perience with various manures and fertil- 

 izers, in the growing of crops and dressing 

 of lawns, was one the mcml)ers of tlie so- 

 ciety were greatlx- interested in, as they 

 had discussed the question at previous 

 meetings. Jlr. Craig answered questions for 

 nearly an hour after his lectiu-e. on ticiubles 

 in the garden.
