For summer homes, Shrubbery is well suited; for winter dwellings, it does not serve 

 to soften the angular lines of a house as Evergreens will. 



An Evergreen planting like this is effective even in winter. Though it costs 

 does more than leaf-dropping or tender plants will in such a position. 



Moons Way of Solving Foundation Planting Problems 



One way is by freely using shrubs of varying heights and succession of bloom times. 



Another way is to mingle with the shrubs, some evergreens or Rhododendrons, giving 

 foliage color contrasts and partially overcoming the barren effect caused by the leafless 

 shrubs, in the winter months. 



Stilt another way is the exclusive use of dwarf evergreens in their varying shapes and wide 

 range of foliage colorings, giving you a most satisfactory all year round effect. 



The relative cost of each way is in the order they are mentioned; namely, Shrubs 

 are cheapest, a Mixed planting slightly more costly, and Evergreens the most costly but 

 at the same time are effective all around the calendar. 



So you see it's a very simple matter to secure from Moon just the kind of foundation 

 planting you want, according to desires or purse. 



For all equal expenditure we don't know of any planting that so compliments the resi- 

 dence and brings it in intimate connection with the grounds. Many a stilted, lost-soul-like- 

 looking-house has been made charming by the right foundation planting. 



Our nurseries of 450 acres are well stocked with all the materials necessary for foundation 

 plantings. These plants are described in our catalog and valuable helps for the solution of 

 your planting problems are given there. A copy will be gladly mailed upon request to all 

 who are interested in Hardy Trees and Plants for any purpose.

WHOLESALE! 



Through the failure of one of our largest 

 jobbers, we have to dispose of 10,000 hardy 

 ornamentals and fruits. This great stock is 

 still in the ground at our Waukegan Nur- 

 series and it must be moved this spring to 

 make room for new plantings. 



In order to move them at once we are mak- 

 ing prices considerably under current ivhole- 

 sale prices on these goods. Never before were 

 such prices made on first quality shrubs and 

 trees. Every one guaranteed to be healthy 

 and true to name.

How About Your Harvest? 



A certain farmer found himself confronted 

 with the same problem at every harvest 



his yields seldom reached the mark 

 they should. His profits were disap- 

 pointing and, sometimes, distressingly 

 small. He sought for the cause without 

 success — until one day he read a 



( Clark) 

 disk 



harrows. He got 

 an entirely new 

 idea about disk 

 harrows and disk 

 harrowing. 



Do you know how much you lose where 

 there are little hard ridges between the surface 

 and the subsoil in your fields? Often the sur- 

 face looks mellow and fine, and you are deceived. 

 Do you know how much you lose every year be- 

 cause there is a clumpy strata between the seed- 

 bed and the sub-soil? You can stop these losses. 

 CUTAWAY (Clark) disk harrows pulverize all the 

 soil to the full depth to which they run, and they 

 are lighter draft than other harrows, size for size. 

 There is a style and size for every farmer. In 

 our catalog you will find illustrated and described 

 Double Action Engine Harrows; Double Actions 

 for horse power for both orchard and field work; 

 Corn and Cotton Harrows; one-horse harrows 

 for field, grove and garden; Bush and Bog Plows; 

 Right Lap Plows; California Orchard Plows — in 

 fact, the tool you need. Remember, our catalog, 

 "The Soil and Intensive Tillage," is free for the 

 asking.
