Manufacturers Who Figure on Costs of Production 

 Ought to Know the Value of the Trees 



They know what it means in dollars and cents to wait on development. They tie up thousands of dollars in 

 raw material to be used at some future time. They realize the importance of protecting such material from the 

 ravages of time or from injury or accident. They ought also to know that when nature has spent years in building 

 a tree, when she has taken the raw material from the soil and the sunshine and turned it into a finished ^n i 



product of root and trunk and branch, that it is an asset which ought to be looked after and guarded ^M ^ 



p ° Trees Are a Manufactured Product 



Nature's great factory— the most stupendous and wonderful "plant" of them all— has been making trees for centuries. 

 And trees are not indestructible. Their value depends upon their heahh and physical condition. They requiie care and 

 attention — need to be treated when thev are injured, ministered unto when they are sick, protected at all limes from the 

 ravages of their enemies. Otherwise their value diminishes— they cease to be an asset and become a liability, so 



to speak. Th? Davey Tree Experts Apply Scientific 



Efficiency Methods to the Care of Trees 



Traineo under the direction of John Davey " Father of Tree Surgery " they operate by the scientific 

 svstem worked out by him through years of patient toil and study among the trees. They save trees 

 that have been injured, prevent decay, cure disease, and give life and health to trees that are not thriv- 

 ing. They understand tree life, and the enemies that prey upon trees, and their services are inexj en- 

 sive in comparison with the value of their work.

 Will say that the trees treated 

 by your experts are doing nicely, 

 and 1 consider the treatment a 

 success. One fine tree in par- 

 ticular would have been a total 

 loss had it not been treated, 

 but now it is healing over, and 

 apparently is in good, healthy 

 condition. 



Very truly yours,

Any One Can 



Grow Mushrooms 



Delightful Occupation — Delicious Delicacy for 

 the Home Table and a Good Income if You Wish 



I HAVE shown thousands of men 

 and women how to grow mush- 

 rooms successfully. Most all of 

 them are now in the business growing 



for profit and making a good income 

 without interfering with their regular 

 occupation with this wonderful, easy, 

 pleasant pastime. I hope soon that a 

 mushroom bed will be as common as 

 vegetable gardens. 



Growing mushrooms is really no 

 more difficult than growing radishes. 



It's just a matter of knowing how. 



Every failure in the mushroom busi- 

 ness can be traced to poor spawn 



and unreliable information 



I have been in the business for 

 over fourteen years. I prob- 



ably know more about the subject of 

 mushroom culture than any one else 

 in America. From a start with a few 

 dollars capital I built up the largest 

 mushroom farm in America, with acres 

 of bed space in cultivation. By actual 

 experience I have learned just how 

 mushrooms can be grown and what's 

 even more important, how they can 

 not be grown. 



I Will Tell You How 



I have written a little book which 

 gives truthful, reliable, experienced 

 information about mushroom culture, 

 where mushrooms can be grown, how 

 to have a mushroom bed in your cel- 

 lar, etc. It also tells about spawn 

 and how to secure really reli • 

 able spawn. I shall gladly 

 send you this book FREE. 

 If you have never tried mush- 

 room growing, or if you have tried 

 and failed because of the causes of 

 which I have spoken, write for my 

 free book in which I will show you 

 beyond the shadow of a doubt 

 that you can have a fine mushroom 

 bed. Address

"DON'T NELSONS OFFER ANY BUT 

 LARGE TREES?" 



This question has been asked so often recently that we consider it worthy of 

 reply through our advertising. We do grow and sell plants, shrubs and trees 

 in smaller sizes th an those we recommend for landscapes without waiting. 

 While we believe it is better — and cheaper in the end — as a general thing, to 

 buy the larger sizes, we are always glad to supply purchasers whose desires or 

 requirements may indicate the less mature specimens that we have in large 

 quantities. Large, " immediate effect " trees, of the kind that are our great 

 specialty, require such treatment in the nursery as to make those of smaller size, 

 grown at the same time, of greater value and vigor than the product in the 

 same size of nurseries that do not specialize in big trees. 



We Have a Fine Stock of Trees Three to Six Inches in Diameter 



Sturdy, thrifty fellows, that will satisfy and surprise you by the way in which they get down to bus- 

 iness when planted under any ordinarily good conditions. The picture herewith illustrates trees of 

 about this size, to the left, while it shows our larger specimens at the right. Now is a mighty good 

 time to buy these three- to six-inch trees — which we have in most all the standard kinds that can be 

 depended upon in this section. Write us today about your planting needs, and we'll gladly tell 

 you just how well prepared we are at Gler.view Nurseries to take care of these. 



Handsome book, " Landscapes Without Waiting" explaining many points in land- 

 scaping and tree planting, will be sent free on application to any home owner within 

 500 miles of Chicago. To others, 50 cents, which will be rebated on first order.
