AMERICAN FORESTRY 



OR the wonderful 

 peace days which 

 are to come, and 

 as valuable resources in fu- 

 ture wars should there be 

 any plant trees now. Each 

 year at little or no expense to 

 you, your trees become bigger 

 and better. For large, strong, 

 handsome growths choose 



We take extra precautions 

 in securing these seeds to be 

 sure that they will develop 

 trees that you will be proud 

 of. A quality reputation ex- 

 tending back over 116 years is 

 behind every seed we sell. 



Also for your flower and 

 vegetable gardens remember 

 that Thorburn's Seeds will 

 give you splendid results.
