Tree For Sale 



It is an oak 28 feet High, with a 13 feet spread. 

 A splendid specimen that has been carefully 

 trimmed and scientifically root-pruned. It can 

 be moved right to your place and planted on your 

 lawn, and will grow right along as if nothing 

 had happened. 



We will do the moving for you, ship it by rail 

 or deliver on tree mover; dig the hole and plant 

 the tree. You will be entirely free from any 

 bother. 



There are at least 75 other Oaks quite as good 

 as this in our Nursery, for you to select from. 



If you would rather have an Oak that is not so 

 tall, and with wider spread, we have them. 



Or if you prefer Maples, Lindens or Catalpas, 

 there are some exceptionally fine ones that we 

 will sell singly, in pairs or by carload lots. 



This buying and moving big trees, such as we 

 grow, is a new thing to some, and they are 

 skeptical, butwe have been doing it with marked 

 success for the last fifteen years, for hundreds of 

 people. 



Of course, if we have the large trees, there are 

 also hundreds of smaller ones growing up in the 

 Nursery, from which you are free to make your 

 selections. They cost less to buy and move, but 

 you must wait years for them to attain size. 



Most people prefer to pay a little more and have 

 the waiting left out, but this is one class of stock 

 not usually available to the readers of this maga- 

 zine, and here is another: Small trees at $5.00 

 per 1,000 and upward. Pines, spruce, oak, 

 magnolia, hickory and others. 



The reason our way of growing and moving 

 such large trees is successful, makes decidedly 

 interesting reading — incidentally, it is convincing. 

 Our catalog tells all about it, and shows exactly 

 how it is done; besides numerous illustrations 

 of various kinds of trees as they now appear on 

 the grounds, after having been moved. 



Come to the Nursery if you can and make 

 your selection, or let us send you the catalog, 

 and order direct from it.

Spraying Means Insurance 

 for Your Crops 



THE value of spraying is now 

 very generally recognized by the 

 up-to-date grower and farmer 

 throughout the country. Insect and 

 fungi pests have increased so rapidly, 

 that the man who does not spray 

 lays his crops open to the attacks of 

 these parasites, and unless he has un- 

 usually good luck, they are liable to 

 suffer in size as well as quality. 



To secure the best results from 

 spraying and avoid all danger of burn- 

 ing or foliage injury, the grower or 

 farmer should be sure that the spray- 

 ing materials he uses are absolutely 

 reliable and made of only the purest 

 ingredients. 



Decorate Your Home 

 by Our Plan 



IF you are about to paint and 

 decorate any room in your house, 

 or your whole house, remember 

 that it costs just as much to apply the 

 paints, varnishes and other finishes, 

 whether you have a good decorative 

 plan or not. 



In decorating any room two things 

 are required; first, a good color 

 scheme adapted to the use of 

 the room, and second, paints, var- 

 nishes and other decorative finishes 

 which will give the durable effects 

 desired. 



For the correct and satisfactory 

 treatment of any room, there are 



Sherwin-Williams 



Insecticides* fungicides % paints & varnishes 



comprise a line of spraying com- 

 pounds that will do the work right 

 for which they are intended — because 

 they are made of the very purest 

 materials. They will not only pro- 

 tect your fruit trees, vegetables and 

 orchards from all leaf-biting insects, 

 but from all fungi troubles as well, 

 and will increase both the quality and 

 the size of your crops. The line 

 includes: 



S-W Lime Sulfur Solution — a universal 

 fungicide and an insecticide for sucking insects and 

 mites. It should be used as a fall spray ten days 

 after the leaves have dropped from the trees or as 

 a spring spray just before the foliage opens. It is 

 especially effective against San Jose Scale, Apple 

 Aphis. Woolly Aphis, Elm Aphis, Pear Leaf Blister 

 Mite, Peach Leaf Curl, Peach Moth, Red Spider, 

 Scab and the Cottony Cushion Scale.

 Worms, Slugs, and the Elm Beetle.
