A planting of Moon's trees and shrubbery on a small suburban lawn. This stock cost $80 and was planted 

 in November, ioio and photographed Summer, 1911. No improvement of similar amount that the owner

HIS YEAR TRY MOON'S 

 SHRUBS AND TREES 



Among other 

 things there is a 

 geographical rea- 

 son for your buy- 

 ing from Moon. 

 Our nurseries are located in 

 Pennsylvania, midway between 

 New York and Philadelphia. The 

 climatic conditions are neither 

 those of extreme heat or cold, 

 but strike a happy average for 

 the entire country. This means 

 that our stock is grown under 

 ideal climatic conditions for suc- 

 cessful planting in practically the 

 entire United States. 

 The soil is of a rich loamy tex-

 specimen Japan Maples. We have 

 both the green and purple leaved forms. 



ture, highly conducive to a strong 

 fibrous root development, while 

 also being of a nature that clings 

 firmly to the roots when dug for 

 transplanting. Careful and 

 systematic root-pruning is prac- 

 ticed on our trees, an advantage 

 but few nurseries can claim. 



Over here in Morrisville, we 

 have 450 acres growing over 2,200 

 varieties in shrubs and trees, to 

 choose from. 



Because of such favorable climatic 

 conditions and our vigilant attention, 

 Moon's trees and shrubs not only look 

 well, but transplant well. 



Send for catalog. Order early so you 

 can plant early.
