It will confirm your de- 

 cisions on fitting your 

 selection of trees to your 

 soil and climate. It offers 

 trees for dry and acid 

 soils and moist soils in 

 the same region. Many 

 nurseries on alkaline soils 

 do not specialize on oaks 

 and pines. 



Trees 20 years old can 

 be selected now. They 

 are guaranteed to grow 

 satisfactorily or replaced 

 free.

WOOD FOR FUEL IN IOWA 



CROSS-CUT saws, buck saws and axes 

 are making sounds like victory for the 

 United States in its war against Ger- 

 many throughout Iowa this week. They 

 are being wielded by determined men who 

 are putting wood into shape to be used as 

 fuel this winter. Their employment is a 

 part of a gigantic plan inaugurated by 

 Charles Webster, Federal Fuel Adminis- 

 trator for the state, to conserve coal dur- 

 ing the coming winter months. 



The equivalent of one million tons of 

 coal, or rather to be more explicit three 

 million cords of fuel wood, is the mark set 

 by the state administration to be reached 

 by November 1, 1918. Iowans generally 

 are co-operating and it is expected there 

 will be no difficulty on that score. Nearly 

 60,000 pledges have been obtained in which 

 the signers pledge themselves to have cut 

 for own use certain quantities of fuel wood 

 by that date. In many of the larger cities 

 of the state municipal wood yards have 

 been established and are doing good work. 



Orchids 



CHINESE CHESTNUTS THRIVE 



The Chinese downy chestnut trees (Cas- 

 tanea molUssima which were distributed in 

 1907 have not succumbed to the bark dis- 

 ease and some of them have borne a few 

 fruits. It is clear that they have a high 

 degree of resistance to disease, and al- 

 though they can not be expected to take 

 the place of the much larger species of 

 chestnut native to America, in so far as 

 timber production is concerned, they can be 

 at least relied upon to furnish good nuti 

 for the trade. 



We are specialists in Or- 

 chids; we collect, import, 



grow, sell and export this class of plants 



exclusively. 

 Our Illustrated and descriptive catalogue 



of Orchids may be had on application. Also 



special list of freshly Imported unestab- 



llsbed Orchids.
