How Our Complete Nursery 

 Can he of Benefit to You 



FOR comparison, let's take the department store. You go to 

 the one store and buy practically all you want — you payjthe 

 one bill, and receive your goods in the one shipment. You 

 have the least possible bother — youget the highest possible service. 

 By the same token, you might call our nursery a big outdoor 

 planting department store, where you can get anything and 

 everything that's worth while from Hardy Flowers to Roses. 

 From Shrubs to Trees. Further than that, whatever we 

 sell you, can be depended on as being hardy; otherwise it could not 

 have wintered through this severe New England climate of ours. 

 As for packing — no one takes any more care — few as much. 

 If you have not sent for our catalog and new booklet — do so. If 

 you have them, then send along your orders so we can ship them 

 as early as you wish.

 COOPER SAYS OF 



THE 



Heart of Darkness" 



By JOSEPH CONRAD 



"One of the shortest stories Mr. Conrad 

 has written, and at the same time contain- 

 ing one of the biggest, most suggestive, of 

 his themes. It is nothing less than a pre- 

 sentment of the clashing of two continents, 

 a symbolic picture of the inborn antagon 

 ism of two races, the white and the black." 



"The Heart of Darkness" 



is one of three stories in 



"Youth"
