WHAT is the use of waiting fifteen 

 or twenty years for saplings to 

 grow up, when you can come right 

 to our nursery and pick out trees that 

 in a couple of years will be dense, 

 beautiful specimens like this one? 



You say, "they cost more." Of course 

 they do, but what do a few more dollars 

 matter when you get the trees you want, 

 just the size you want and just when you 

 want them? 



Wouldn't you be willing to pay $30 

 or $70 for a fine, big Maple, Linden, Pin 

 Oak or Catalpa, 30 to 40 feet high and 

 12 to 20 feet wide, if we will dig it up, 

 move or ship it to your grounds, and 

 plant it for you, and then gaurantee it 

 will live ? Certainly you would ! 



If you can, come right to our nursery, 

 and pick out just the tree or trees you . 

 want. If you can't, then send for our 

 new catalog and make your selections 

 from that. It is an easy thing to order 

 from the catalog by number, as many of 

 the trees are illustrated and numbered 

 just as they stand in the nursery. We 

 arranged the catalog in this way to make 

 it the easiest possible for you. 



Even if you are thinking of coming to 

 the nursery, it will be well to send for 

 the catalog jiiSt the same.

What Is the Use of Trying to Get 

 Along Without a Sunshine Shop? 



You will build one sooner or later, and we be- 

 lieve if you knew how reasonable in price our 

 Sunshine Shops are, what a great amount of 

 pleasure can be derived from them, and what 

 a help they are in carrying on your garden 

 operations, you would straight away have one. 



This greenhouse itself is 11 feet wide and 25 

 feet long— just a nice size to start with. The 

 work-room you can make cost little or much, 

 just as you incline. Perhaps you have some 

 building on the place that will answer the 

 purpose; or why don't you attach it direct to 



your house, and put the boiler in the cellar, 

 and omit the workroom entirely I 

 The frame of this greenhouse is made of steel 

 with just enough wood to secure the glass, 

 making an extremely light, attractive and 

 very durable house. It is just the kind of 

 house you will have no end of pleasure work- 

 ing in now and then. When you find out just 

 how much pleasure, it's a chance if you won't 

 insist on doing all of it. 



This house is fully described in our catalog, 

 so send for it.

Fill the Roller With Water and 

 Get ANY Weight You Want 



Just fill the hollow drum of the "Water Witch" with water 



or sand — use a hose or bucket and funnel. Make the weight 



JUST RIGHT for a soft and wet lawn, or a how a 



hard, dry lawn — anywhere from 115 lbs. 



to 970 lbs., according to the amount of 



water or sand you use. I w A f ter%^and 



Wilder'S "Water Witch" 



is the most convenient of garden tools. It runs easily with the heaviest ballast. Don't crack 

 your walks by crossing them with a heavy roller. The "Water Witch" can be emptied in a jiffy 

 — and filled as quickly. Dump out the ballast and the roller is easily lifted. 



What's the use of a heavy, clumsy solid iron or cement roller that costs 



more to buy and ship; that is so heavy that only a strong man can run it; 



that is generally too heavy or too light to do your lawn the most good — that 



is in every respect unsatisfactory ? Remember that a difference of fifty 



pounds in the weight of a roller may mean success or ruin to your lawn '' 



— that a half-ton roller will spoil a lawn in early spring — a 200-lb 



roller is too light for summer work. Avoid a patchy or rank lawn 



by rolling it RIGHT. The cheapest, easiest and most / 



convenient way is with a "Water Witch." /' a& * 



FOR THE TENNIS COURT, it's just the thing. / ^7 k%- 



FOR A GARDEN ROLLER, the "Water Witch" / ^' 



is just the thing — can be made light enough for • jjjj' /^? 



flower beds, shrubbery or general truck gardens. In ' c£f-^& 



short, it's a DOZEN ROLLERS IN ONE. ''*^V?'*
