Birthplace of Little Trees That Live 



Why you should buy trees and shrubs this 

 year and why you should buy them early! 



Before the war Europe supplied a large portion of the nursery 

 stock used in America. That source of supply is now cut off. 

 American nurserymen have curtailed production during the past 

 two years. Consequently there is bound to be a scarcity of 

 planting material and prices will be correspondingly high. 



I 

 Be Forehanded — Save Money 



Buy little trees now,— plant them out for borders and edging 

 for your vegetable garden. Employ the Little Tree Garden 

 idea and set the trees out without additional labor; they will 

 require practically no care; they will add beauty and charm to 

 your vegetable plot; and they will be increasing in size and m 

 value all the time. jl^ 



A Little Tree Garden on Your Property jjj 



means jj 



if is always planting season with you m 



How many times while walking about your estate have you B 



thought "A little blue spruce would 'brighten up' this corner" or H 



"A few shade trees right here would be just the place to swing B 



a hammock this hot day," or "I wish that objectionable view H 



on my neighbor's property was screened from sight," or "A mass H 



planting of Japanese Barberry with its bright red berries would || 



be cheerful in the fall and early winter," or "A privet hedge is ■ 



just what I need on the front of my property," etc.? With a jj 



Little Tree Garden you can carry out these small plantings with U 



your own stock when the spirit moves. ^

Editorial Quotation from Feb. Garden Magazine. 



Exactly! That's the very thing we have been 

 preaching since 1856. It's this old New England 

 doctrine that caused us, years ago, to pay partic- 

 ular attention to rootcrops fit for storage. It's the 

 very reason why Gregory's Special Strains of Beets, 

 Carrots, Parsnips and Winter Squashes measure up 

 to the highest expectations of most critical garden- 

 ers. Below we give a list of dependable stand-bys, 

 and most heartily advise to
