Every Patriotic Citizen is Pronouncing 

 Condemnation Upon the Slacker 



IT TAKES years to grow fruit trees to maturity. We are eating 

 fruit from trees planted by others. It takes the time of two 

 generations of men to bring shade trees to perfection. The trees 

 we so much enjoy in our parks and along our streets were planted by 

 some one, not only for themselves, but for future generations. 



What shall be said of those who enjoy the labor of others; but who 

 will not do their part to pass these favors on to those coming after us? 



Don't Be a Slacker, Plant Trees 



Adorn your home-grounds so that the place will look attractive. 

 Now is the time to get busy. For a quarter of a century we have been 

 getting ready to supply your needs, directly from producer to consumer 

 — no middleman's profit. We employ no salesmen, but sell direct to 

 the consumer. We guarantee to give you "Value for Value" — that's 

 our motto. 



We cannot bother to enumerate varieties and give prices. It's all 

 in our 1918 Catalogue. Sent only for the asking.
