With every Bay State Shrub 

 comes a compact fibrous mass of 

 vigor-giving rootlets. This 

 strong root-growth means strong 

 well-formed top-growth. 



Here is an interesting "link-up" effected with Bay State Shrubs. 

 Note how the house seems to "blind" into the grounds 



State Shrubs 

 Will "Link Up' 

 Your House With Your Grounds 

 Plant Them This Fall 



DOES your house look as if it really belonged to your grounds? 

 Or has it a certain "detached" aspect to it? 



If the latter is the case, the chances are that what is lacking is 

 a "link-up" — something to "tie it to" your grounds, as it were. 



Bay State Shrubs will do that very thing. Planted about your 

 foundations, their own gracefulness will soften its lines and do 

 away with all evidences of an obvious boundary where "grounds 

 leave off and house begins." The effect will be one of pleasing 

 consistency and perfect "one-ness." 



Be it shrubs, shade trees, evergreens or what-not, you can depend 

 on. the Bay State stock you plant. Because every plant must stand 

 the rigorous test imposed by our long, hard, New England Winters, 

 before we sell it, Bay State stock has well merited its reputation 

 for thriving where other stocks fail. 



Give your stock a valuable head start by planting it this Fall.
