Do Not Go Through Another Summer 



Without Trees and Shrubs 



There is no use suffering- from the heat because of a lack of pleasant shade and 

 comforting- shrubbery; it isn't necessary. The trees and shrubs are ready for 

 you — after years of patient growing. It is your fault, not theirs, if they are not 

 about your home, for you could have them placed there. Life is too short for one 

 to set out a twig, after his home is built, and wait for it to become a tree — Nature 

 works too slowly for that. But you can secure trees and shrubs that are large 

 enough to give you a landscape without waiting. 



The Growing of Trees is an ART — Transplanting Them is a SCIENCE 



Swain Nelson & Sons Co., engaged in raising and transplanting trees and shrubs, 

 have been in the businessifor a long time. They understand the art of growing things, 

 and they transplant scientifically. All ofitheir stock is carefully grown. The trees 

 and shrubs are planted with plenty of space between each individual, giving it a 

 chance to develop into a personality. Attention is paid 



to root development, to shape and formation, and to ^m^^^^^mtmmmatmm^ 



vigor. The soil in which the plants are started is im- 

 portant. The protection and cultivation the young 

 plants receive is material. The manner in which they 

 are taken up and transplanted from time to time, so they 

 will adapt themselves to changed conditions, is VITAL. 

 All of these things have been properly looked after from 

 year to year in Nelson's Glenview Nurseries. 



LANDSCAPES WITHOUT WAITING REQUIRE 

 SPECIAL FACILITIES AND SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE 



Something more is involved than digging a hole in the 

 ground and setting out a plant. Swain Nelson & Sons 

 Co.'s experts visit your!premises if desired, determine the 

 size and character of trees and shrubs best adapted to 

 the place, select the proper location for them, remove 

 them from where they are now growing in their great 

 nurseries and place them where they will do you the most 

 good — where they will shelter you and add beauty and 

 value to the home. Fine, large specimens are always 

 chosen. A business reputation stands back of every 

 transaction and the company cannot afford to make a 

 failure. Nothing is undertaken that cannot be success- 

 fully carried out, and no contract is too large for execu- 

 tion. Handsome Book, "Landscape Without Waiting," 

 explaining many points in landscaping and tree plant- 

 ing, will be sent free on application to any home owner 

 within five hundred miles of Chicago. From others we 

 must ask fifty cents, which will be rebated on first order.
