OF FIRST importance — planting 

 conditions are in both your and 

 their favor. 



When Fall planted, they become 

 firmly established and next Spring put 

 forth a vigorous growth; which means 

 quick, sure returns for your expen- 

 diture. 



Then tnere is the help problem, 

 which is now in your favor. As short 

 as it has been, it will be shorter yet 

 in the Spring; shorter and cost more. 



With the usual Fall slacking off of 

 estate work, you will find more men 

 available. The thought of frost and 

 Winter, also makes them less inde- 

 pendent. 



As for the quality of our trees, we 

 will leave that to you or any expert 

 you may choose to pass on them. 



We known them to be a choice lot, 

 with full vigorous tops and abundant 

 compact roots. 



In variety, few nurseries have as 

 large an assortment, even to the rarer 

 kinds. Send for our catalogue. 



Every worth while nursery 

 burlaps their evergreen root 

 balls nowadays. Burlapping 

 is recognized as essential to 

 best results. But don't lose 

 sight of the fact that it's 

 roots you want. Plenty of 

 compact fibrous roots with 

 ample clinging undisturbed 

 soil about them. 



These are what we burlap.

The Fear of Color 



Send $r.oo for our Booklet "Fear of Color. Fear of plants. 

 Fear of Plants as Weeds." This Booklet will mark the 

 beginning of a revolution in cultivation of soil, especially 

 gardening in town and country. Onions and Carrots 1500 

 to 2000 bushels per acre. No hand weeding. No hand 

 thinning. The greatest single annual economic leak is the 

 ignorant, careless and slovenly cultivation of soil and spacing 

 of crops. Nature conserves, upbuilds and enriches soil by 

 growing plants upon it. Upbuildyour soil in field and garden 

 by efficiently growing and spacing crops. Let us tell you how. 

 Upbuild, conserve and guard your health by growing and 

 eating northern grown vegetables, highly colored northern 

 grown fruits, which properly feed stomach, intestines and 

 colin. Efficient field and garden hand tools, illustrated and 

 uses explained, alone are worth the price of the Booklet. 

 Money returned as cheerfully as taken if not satisfied. We 

 do not want your money unless we fairly earn it.
