The Cheapest Large Tree 



Silver Maples grown in the Westbury Nurseries are 

 trained to single leader and compact ovate heads and, there- 

 fore, are not liable to break from the winds. Digging 

 with a wide system of fine fibrous roots as we do results 

 in a vigorous and dense growth. Silver Maples are equal 

 to the same investment in porches and awnings for im- 

 mediate comfort. They grow in size and beauty from 



ar to year.

Every reader of the GARDEN MAGAZINE— FARMING should possess 



The Garden and Farm Almanac for 1908 



Beautifully printed, splendidly illustrated, strongly bound, brimful of useful and new information.

Facts about FERTILIZERS. 



Formulas for Grafting Wax. 



Gardeners' and farmers' PLANTING TABLES— tell- 

 ing the best varieties, when to plant, how deep, how far 

 apart (rows and plants in rows), what to use for succession, 

 etc. The most practical tlanting tables ever printed. 



The best FLOWERS for all purposes. 



The best TREES and SHRUBS and EVERGREENS. 



The best LAWN MIXTURES.

Rules for foretelling the WEATHER. 



How to get help from the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 



Cooking time-tables, and how to prepare vegetables. 



Co"Ver in fttll Color Probably the most valuable feature of the whole Almanac is the twelve "immediate service coupons ," in the back 



pages, which insure an immediate answer to any question which the Almanac may not answer fully enough. 

 If you are in doubt as to anything, just cut out one of these, mail to us, and our force of experts will be set working until you have an authoritative and com- 

 plete reply. This feature last year met with the greatest success, and won us many new friends. 



A copy of the Almanac will be sent to all subscribers to the GARDEN MAGAZINE— FARMING, if requested when subscription is sent in; otherwise, price 25 cents.
