Saturate part of a clean Blotter with ink — Let it dry thoroughly — 

 Pour water on it — Notice how the dry ink re-dissolves and runs into 

 the freshly-moistened fibres of the still clean part of the blotter. This 

 will suggest how, in like manner, the grains of our EARLY-CROP 



ODORLESS FERTILIZER 



(and of our MAK-GRO ODORLESS PLANT FOOD), when mixed with the soil, are acted 

 upon by the rains and the soil-moisture, releasing from time to time, from the fibre base 

 of the compound, a quantity of immediately available Nitrogen. Phosphoric Acid and Potash 

 so that plants are supplied uninterruptedly throughout the entire growing season, with the 

 food required for their proper growth and, good crop-development. 

 We want to send you our De- 

 scriptive Booklet on the subject, 

 so that, being convinced of the 

 value of our product, you will be 

 prepared to try it out in your Gar- 

 den and Planting Operations this 

 year. For all growing things. 

 Among the dozen or more Book- 

 lets by Mr. George T. Powell on 

 Gardening and kindred subjects, 

 which we intend for extensive 

 distribution, may be several you 

 might want. Send for the list.

Plant that 

 hedge now 



A hedge set out this 

 month will grow twice as 

 much this year as one 

 planted in May. It is 

 easy to have a hedge like 



this one when you use my 



Japanese Barberry 



grown so it will make perfect hedges. The plants are 

 even in size, have strong, fibrous roots (transplanted three 

 times) and stocky, well branched tops (cut back regularly). 

 These sturdy bushes arebound to thrive — they need no coddling. 



Uaxtons No Money Gudoiv 



To show you how superior this barberry -early is, I want to 

 send you a hedge on approval — a hedge that needs no trim- 

 ming, thrives in sun or shade, has beautiful foliage, 

 '* showy red berries, and is hardy everywhere.

FROM FLORIDA 



For Southern planting outdoors and 

 for house decoration in the North 



WE have made a special study of this matter for 

 30 years and have achieved a success in grow- 

 ing beautiful plants and in delivering them in like 

 beautiful condition to the most distant purchasers. 



It takes special care and prep- 

 aration to properly pack delicate 

 palms, ferns, etc., to stand a trip 

 of thousands of miles, but we do 

 it — not just once in a while, but 

 a good many times every workday. 

 We issue a large catalog covering 

 all our stock, having 17 special 



Departments; the plants and trees, 

 etc., are all classified in these De- 

 partments, with special notes on 

 hardiness to withstand cold, and 

 when to transplant, and so on, so 

 that a novice can make intelligent 

 selections for the living room, con- 

 servatory, orchard or garden. 



We Have the Stock 



in immense variety, from all over the tropics, 

 and are constantly adding to our variety. 

 Whenever you want a rare (or common) 

 plant or tree merely look in our complete 

 index in catalog, which shou d be on your 

 desk or library table for ready reference, 

 and order it by Parcel Post at catalog 

 price, postpaid, or, if a large specimen, by 



Express or Freight. We ship to all our 

 foreign colonies Mexico, Canada, Europe 

 and all tropical countries, as well as all 

 parts of the United States. On receipt of 

 your request we shall be glad to send a 

 catalog, and we promise no follow-up 

 literature or passing your name on to other 

 firms.

Two Million 

 Berry Plants for Sale 



The Berrydale Experiment Gardens handle upward of two 

 million berry plants a year — Blackberry, Raspberry, Straw- 

 berry, Dewberry, Currant and Gooseberry plants. This 

 number is about what our customers take in a normal season. 

 But this is not a normal season. 



There is every indication as this is written that the spring 

 of 1913 is four or five weeks earlier than usual. This will reduce 

 the time for buying plants, and will cut down our orders so 

 that we will have several hundred thousand perfect plants 

 left on our hands. 



High-grade Berry Plants for Unusually 

 Low Prices on Special Private Sale 



We don't want to burn these plants, for they are the very best varieties, 

 so we must induce YOU and many other planters to use them. Write to 

 us. and tell us what kind of plants you are interested in, how many plants 

 you might use, or how much land you might set in berries. 



We will quote prices in a personal letter. Don't order less than a dozen 

 plants. We prefer orders for ioo or iooo plants. Understand, these 

 plants are not culls or seconds. They are the usual Berrydale quality, 

 well rooted, hardy, strong, healthy, Michigan-grown plants. 



DO YOU HAVE THE BERRYDALE BERRY BOOK FOR 1913? 

 If not, it's a valuable book — send a card for it now.
