Nuts and Fruits for Food and Profit 



EAT FRUIT and SAVE SUGAR— EAT NUTS and SAVE MEAT 



"OVER THERE" 



is a direct appeal for 

 more food — without 

 food, what good are men 

 and ships? 



NUT TREES FOR 

 HOME GARDEN 



English Walnut, Black 

 Walnut, Butternut, Fil- 

 bert, Hickory and 

 Chestnut are more nour- 

 ishing than meat, wheat, 

 flour or potatoes. They 

 are raised, growing and 

 bearing abundantly in 

 the vicinity of Roches- 

 ter where the tempera- 

 ture range is from 100° 

 in summer to 15° below 

 zero in winter. 



FRUITS AND BERRIES ARE VICTORY CROPS 



Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Cherries, Grapes, Raspberries, Blackberries, 

 Strawberries, etc., hold out attractive possibilities to land owners. A few fruit 

 trees in the home garden can be so chosen as to supply a family with fresh fruit 

 for a long season. 



OUR DEPENDABLE TREES AND PLANTS ARE 

 GUARANTEED TO GROW 



Knowing what to plant contributes largely to success. The 1918 "Magalog" (our 

 illustrated catalogue in magazine form) solves the problem. Sent free on request.

If you intend to build a bungalow, garage, cot- 

 tage, play house, chicken house or any other kind 

 of small house — first consult a Hodgson catalogue. 



The Hodgson way is the easy and safe way to 

 build. You order your house from an actual 

 photograph of it, not just a blueprint full of ar- 

 rows and dimensions. You know exactly what it 

 will look like and how much it will cost. You 

 know there will be no extra expenses, no dirt, no 

 noise. When the house comes to you in painted 

 and fitted sections, it can be quickly erected by 

 unskilled workmen. 



By ordering now and paying 25% of the price of your 

 house we will prepare and hold it until wanted. This will 

 save you time and money. Send for catalogue to-day.

Thank you, I did. And, to the human mind, there 

 is no greater Relaxation than to go out into the open 

 air and God's good sunshine and to learn to know the 

 flowers of the fields and the gardens. 



We grow Roses. It is life to us because we know it 

 and love it; it is business to us because by it we live. 

 We are thankful that our new catalogue will bring joy 

 to thousands and just plain relaxation to others. It 

 is going to tell you, by word and picture, of the new 

 wonders of the Rose world. It is going to tell you the 

 Roses which we call "Good Roses." It is going to tell 

 you of a concern whose mission it is to keep alive in the 

 hearts of men and women the love of the beautiful. 

 Will YOU relax from care? That book of flowers will 

 come by mail for a post card.
