^j|HE towering maples, 

 V^J pines and spruces on 

 many an estate, and 

 the sturdy, fruit- 

 laden apple, pear and 

 peach trees you see in 

 many well-kept orchards, 

 wore planted with Thor- 

 burn's Seeds. 



For 116 years we have 

 been studying the nature 

 of trees; the causes of 

 vigorous, healthy growth ; 

 the soils best adapted to 

 each species, and espe- 

 cially the kind of SEEDS 

 that can be depended on 

 to produce 



HEALTHY 



STRONG 



BEAUTIFUL 



TREES 



On the quality of the seeds 

 the trees depend absolutely ; 

 too much care cannot be taken 

 to see that they are perfect. 

 Whether you wish large- 

 leaved, luxuriantly- foliaged 

 shade trees for your home, 

 heavily laden fruit bearers 

 for your orchards, or forest 

 trees on some great tract of 

 land, Thorburn's Seeds can be 

 depended on to make your 

 planting a success. 



Thorburn's Grass Seed for 

 lawns and links and Thor- 

 burn's vegetable and flower 

 seeds are unsurpassed in 

 quality. 



We shall be pleased to mail 

 illustrated catalogue on re- 

 quest.
