A Pecan Tree 

 for Every Home 



is a slogan that might profitably be adopted by the 

 nation. Pecans stand for food, pleasure and comfort. 

 Pecans are permanent, bearing increasing crops of deli- 

 cious nuts each year. A Pecan tree is an object of 

 beauty, grows rapidly, and there are varieties suited to 

 almost every section. The Indiana is specially suited to 

 the sections outside of the main Pecan belt of the South. 



As one of the champions of Pecan and 

 Nut Culture, we invite you to write for 

 our free catalogue, pages 60-61 of which 

 will tell you more about our Nut Trees. 



We grow a complete line of hardy fruit 

 trees and plants, shrubs, and ornamen- 

 tals, evergreens, etc., in our 400 acre 

 nursery.

| Preliminary Announcement of 

 | A Food Garden "Find" 



When, as the recognized leader in its chosen field as Flower Bulb 

 1 Specialists, The House of Scheepers asks your attention to a food 

 plant, the reasons must be weighty indeed. Only Superlative Quality 

 in our "Find" could have induced us to introduce it over our signa- 

 ture, while the recognition of a patriotic obligation on our part makes 

 I this announcement almost imperative at this time. 



Every Patriotic American Food Garden will better serve its 

 1 purpose, if it contains 



Scheepers' "La France" Raspberry 



An Everbearing Quality Fruit, just awarded First Class Certificate of Merit 

 J by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 



With extraordinary size of the individual berry, this "discovery" 

 combines an aroma and flavor that really makes it the peer of all 

 raspberries. The fruits-are pinkish red, of tempting appearance, juicy, 

 1 yet firm, with but few seeds. 



The most remarkable quality of "La France" is its prolificacy. 



1 Eight foot canes will be found literally loaded with large clusters 



1 of the luscious berries. The constitution of the plants is such that 



J they will bear heavy crops even under adverse conditions. We predict 



that "La France" will supersede many of the popular sorts now in 



cultivation as soon as it will be propagated in sufficient quantities.
