The Restful Charm of a 

 Few Shrubs and Trees 



Is strikingly shown in this picture of a planting made by Nelson's Nurseries. A few 

 strong, healthy specimens were utilized, instead of a large number of small and weak 

 ones. As a result, the trees and shrubs began to serve their purpose almost from the 

 time of planting. Our great specialty is this sort of stock — the kind which enables 

 you to complete the decoration of your home grounds without years of waiting. Our 

 experience has shown us the trees, shrubs and plants which can be depended upon for 

 quick results in the Central West ; and we grow no others. When you buy of us, there- 

 fore, you obtain more than the stock you order — you get the benefit of the many 

 things we have learned about the proper planting of home grounds in our territory. 



"Landscapes Without Waiting" 



We have just published a profusely illustrated book, describing the trees, plants and shrubs 

 which our experience has shown to be well adapted to the Central West, and giving definite 

 suggestions as to the purposes which are best served by each kind. " Landscapes Without 

 Waiting " is an original book, in plan and contents, and will be found invaluable by any person in- 

 terested in attractive outdoor surroundings. Each copy costs us over S$i.oo, and we cannot afford 

 promiscuous distribution. The book will be sent free, on application, however, to any 

 person west of Pittsburg and east of the Rocky Mountains, who owns a home with 

 garden, yard or grounds. To all others the price of the book is 50 cents, postpaid — the 

 amount to be rebated on first order for $5.00 worth of stock.
