Plant About Your 

 Home This Soring 



l cliness is a crime. Bald, unsightly 

 places about a home are a disgrace. Trees 

 and shrubs can be set out so they will give 

 the surroundings an aspect of beauty and 

 comfort — and add to the actual cash 

 value of the property. 



Plant Trees and Shrubs That Will 

 Give a Landscape Without Waiting 



Do not try to do the planting yourself 

 unless you have the advice of experts. Do 

 not use little, sickly trees or shrubs, and 

 then sit down and wait a life time for them 

 to grow. Have big, healthy trees and 

 shrubs transplanted from where they have 

 been prospering for years, so you will not 

 have to wait for results.

 SPEEDILY Improve Your Grounds

Its summer and autumn crops do 

 not consist of a few scattered ber- 

 ries, but good to heavy pickings all 

 the time. One party who had a small 

 patch, say half an acre, picked and 

 shipped from it two or three pickings 

 each week for four months and his 

 profits were enormous.
