Teees. 



The man who g^i^ows trees where none grew before 

 has accomplished something' worth while. 



SHOiri^D THE Everyone loves trees. Few progressive men 



piAHT**'"^^ ^^^^^ ^^ satisfied to build permanent homes with- 

 TREES7 out securing the association of trees. They add 



more to man's comfort and welfare than can be 

 told in a small book. They make his landscape. 

 They delight his eye. They provide shade and 

 shelter. They furnish music and company. 

 They supply wood and fruit. 



There is no place where trees cannot be made 

 to gTow if they are given the right treatment. 

 Unless they can be properly cared for do not at- 

 tempt to grow them. IsTeglect will result in 

 greater expense and loss when dealing with trees 

 than any farm dissipation we know about unless 

 it is fast horses. Be sure you are right — make 

 haste slowly — ^proceed deliberately and with con- 

 sideration, and good results are sure to follow. 

 No attempt is made to give instruction relative 

 to fruit growing or general horticulture, but the 

 following brief recommendations should be fol- 

 lowed by every farmer who expects to set out 

 trees, whether he can irrigate much or little or 

 not at all.
