The Time To Move Evergreens 

 Is August and September 



Don't Put It Off Till Next Spring 



OUR records prove beyond all doubt that if any- 

 thing, August-September planting of evergreens 

 is the most fortunate. 



We are frank to admit we began experimenting sev- 

 eral years ago on August-September planting, in an 

 endeavor to extend the planting season, and so relieve 

 the very serious congestion caused by the early spring 

 rush. We started it by first making various transplant- 

 ings in our Nursery. The results far exceeded our 

 most sanguine hopes; and as a result, we have for 

 years been selling as many evergreens in August- 

 September, as in the spring. 



If you have large Pines or Cedars in your vicinity, 

 which you wish moved to your grounds, let us arrange 

 to do it in August or September. We will send expert 

 men and special apparatus to work in co-operation 



with your local men and teams or motor truck. We 

 will assume the responsibility of the moving and 

 transplanting success. 



If you want choice evergreens in any size from 6 

 inches up to 25 feet, we have them. We recommend 

 the large trees, because results are immediate. You 

 save from ten to twenty years waiting for them to 

 grow up. 



It's doubtful if in our Nursery we have ever had so 

 good a collection as at present. Come and see them. 

 Pick out now what you need and we will deliver them 

 later. 



If within feasible delivery distance, we will bring 

 them to your place by wagon or auto truck. 



If you can't come to' the Nursery, send for our 

 catalog.

While you are working out your ideal 

 in the garden, why not provide a home 

 for the birds that help to make life in the 

 country really worth while? A rustic 

 house placed in a tree or on a pole will 

 make an excellent home and add to the 

 attractiveness of your garden. The Wren 

 is particularly fond of houses and will 

 make them their home. 



The robin will build his nest there also 

 every year if you set it up in a tree not 

 too close to your home or the much fre- 

 quented road or street. 



STA TE whether desired for Robins, Bluebirds or Wrens. 



These houses are made of choice Cedar and are very 

 strong, durable and will last a lifetime. Are made well 

 and are very attractive looking. Descriptive circular 

 on request. ' '
