YOU want the best plants, trees 

 and shrubs — the best kinds and 

 the best specimens. The climate and 

 soil of western North Carolina are 

 such that on the various elevations 

 may be grown almost every hardy 

 plant or tree. At Biltmore Nursery 

 those advantages are so utilized by 

 skill and care as to produce a strain 

 of plants of extraordinary vigor. 

 To aid planters in making se- 

 lection, Biltmore Nursery has pub- 

 lished four books — any one of 

 which will be sent free to home- 

 owners desiring to improve their 

 grounds or garden.
