BANISH SPARROWS 



They keep native song birds away. The famous Dodson 

 Sparrow Trap catches as many as 75 to 100 a day. Success- 

 fully used all over America. For the love of our beautiful 

 songsters get rid of sparrows. The U. S. Government, the 

 Audubon Societies and all lovers of birds advocate the de- 

 struction of this national pest — English Sparrows. 

 Get rid of sparrows; native birds will return to your gardens. 

 Sparrows are most easily trapped in July and August — young 

 birds being most plentiful and bold.

"I told them the truth; I knew it for the 

 truth then, and I know it for the truth 

 now", said Frank Norris, writing of 



VANDOVER 



and the BRUTE 



By the author of " The Pit, " " The Octopus, " Etc. 



"To have written such a story at such an age is in 

 itself proof of the genius that impels an ambitious man 

 in the right direction. Mr. Norris has accomplished 

 what many other and more expert novelists have sought 

 vainly. He has concentrated his attention and the read- 

 er's interest upon one man and one man alone, and he 

 has compelled us to follow him to the bitter end. 'Van- 

 dover and the Brute' is a novel of which any writer 

 might be proud, and it emphasizes strongly the great loss 

 suffered by American imaginative letters in Mr. Norris's 

 untimely death." — Boston Transcript. 



Rev. C. F. Akcd, D. D., LL. D., in the San Francisco 

 Examiner, says: "The bigness and bravery of the book 

 are alike indisputable and irresistible. Frank Norris is a 

 bigger man in our eyes. He is bigger than we knew. 

 Not twenty-five years of age — and he wrote 'Vandover and the Brute.' 

 deaths outrage our sense of fitness."

WE grow a general line of good sturdy nursery stock. Our soil and 

 climate here are peculiarly adapted to it. All our trees are several 

 times transplanted, which insures a fine root system. We give more 

 than usual attention to care in packing for shipment. There's a good bit 

 of frank sincerity of the Puritan ancestors in our business methods which 

 our customers have said is reflected in the kind of stock we grow and sell.
