How Much Would You Take 

 for Such a Tree as This ? 



Chances are, you wouldn't even consider the 'question. Trees, Shrubs and Plants will 

 ever be above the level of mere merchandise. By life long association they become loyal 

 comrades. Aside from their sentimental value, they render distinct and valuable service 

 in providing shade and in some cases food. The nation's fruit trees are one of its most 

 valuable assets. There is room for more fruit trees! There is room for a few 

 around your home and garden. They combine the beauty you admire in picture 

 alongside with the broadest usefulness. 



Shrubs, Trees, Plants 



as a Permanent Investment 



Setting out trees of any kind may be likened to investing in a Liberty Bond. 

 They become more valuable as they 'near maturity. They pay dividends each 

 year, in form of either increased usefulness such as shade, windbreaks, screens or 

 food crops. One hundred dollars' worth of judiciously planted Ornamentals fur- 

 nished by us added five hundred dollars to the 

 value of a home within three years after 

 planting. No stocks of legitimate business 

 can ever point to a similar substantial rise in 

 value in as short a time. 

 While considering your Spring Investment in 

 Nursery Stocks, let us remind you that we have
