Klehm's Nurseries are 

 Cultivated Every Week 





FROM spring until fall tillage 

 never ceases. Trees, shrubs, 

 and hardy plants are kept grow- 

 ing all the time — the soil always 

 is loose and free from weeds. 



This makes Klehm products 

 larger and thriftier — gives them 

 stronger roots and bushier, more 

 vigorous tops — than those that 

 get only ordinary care. 



Trees and shrubs are pruned 

 and transplanted frequently and 

 the fertile black prairie soil is 

 enriched constantly so the stock 

 may be even better. 



A rigorous climate — from 38 below to 98 above zero - 

 establishes the hardiness of Klehm products. They will thrive 

 with you, no matter where you live. Fifty-six years' experience 

 (Klehm's Nurseries are the oldest in the West) are behind the 

 growing of nursery stock here. 



Our New Book — Sent Free 

 Lists Many Rare Varieties 



It tells more about the way Klehm products are grown, and lists all the 



desirable ornamental shrubs, trees and plants, many of them in rare varieties not 



obtainable elsewhere. It was written from the view -point of the landscape 



architect, and states accurately the uses and characteristics of all the kinds 



described. You will find it helpful.

My Latest Tree Book 

 Mailed Free 



I have tried to make this new book a comprehensive guide 

 for those who plant Home Orchards and Ornamental Trees 

 as well as those who plant on a commercial scale. 



It contains 100 illustrated pages, gleaned from my 30 years' 

 experience as a successful nurseryman and fruit-grower, and 

 is full of interesting information to any one planning to 

 beautify his home grounds or garden or cultivating the most 

 profitable varieties of fruit-trees. A postal brings your 

 copy free.

I have no agents. All trees are sold direct

 insuring that degree of satisfaction possible only 

 in personal dealings. 



In this bracing Ozark mountain climate and 

 rich soil, fruit and ornamental trees reach amaz- 

 ing perfection. They are free from insects or 

 disease — hardy, vigorous stock, and I guaran- 

 tee every one true to name. In our nurseries 

 we have a complete assortment of splendid 

 fruit trees and small fruits, hardy ornamentals, 

 shade trees, shrubs, climbers, roses, peonies, 

 etc., ready for spring delivery. 



Send for the new Book, which fully describes 

 and prices the most desirable varieties for the 

 orchard, garden, and country home. Address.

You Can Pay 

 for Your Orchard 

 by Growing 

 Strawberries 



J If your land has, 



^to pay for itself' 



;Hfrom what it pro-- 



W duces, grow straw- 



I berries. On the average eastern farm they will 

 pay for the land on which they are planted in 

 two years. Strawberries between the trees of an 

 orchard should net you #100 or more an acre 

 from the second season. 



Start growing fruit with little capital, and make 

 your living at the same time. If you do not care 

 to grow berries for profit, don't fail to have a 

 home strawberry bed. A quarter acre will pro- 

 duce all the berries you can eat, fresh or canned, 

 and leave you plenty for other uses. 



The Six Leading Strawberries 



Do you know what they are? There are six 

 hundred different kinds of strawberries, yet two- 

 thirds of the entire crop of the East comes from 

 only six kinds. These cover the season of ripen- 

 ing from earliest to latest, are adapted to all soils 

 and locations, and to planting for home or market 

 use. They will yield for you the biggest crops and 

 the finest berries. You should plant no others.

It tells all about these profitable varieties of 

 strawberries and about the other fruits that are 

 making the most money for growers now. It also 

 contains our 1913 prices. Send for a copy now
