SHADE TREES AND EVLKGKLLNS 



This is where the skill, honesty, perseverance 

 and reliability of the nurseryman count for so 

 much. Care on his part means everything to you 

 — and you have to take his word for it. Good trees 

 are the kind we grow. We have a force of men who 

 have been with us for twenty years. We have 

 other employees who came over from Holland's 

 greatest ornamental nursery. We get the best 

 stock that we can find to start with, and we 

 develop it with all the skill known to modern horti- 

 cultural science. We guarantee that our trees are 

 the very best that can be grown. Some nurseries 

 produce as good trees as we do. Others do not. 

 We are sure of our own, however, and if you buy 

 from here you will be sure of what you get. 



Have your trees shipped to you at the right time 

 of the year. If you leave the time to us, we will 

 send them so that they arrive at the proper time. 

 If you live in the Eastern States south of Pennsyl-

 for you. North of this, and in nearly all states 

 west of Ohio, spring planting is best. Now by 

 "spring planting" we mean that trees should go 

 into the ground just as early after Christmas as 

 you can work the ground. In fact, if there is a 

 general thaw in January and if you can get them 



What fine hedge Privet will make with proper trimming. Six years ago 

 this was onlj- two hundred feet of 4-foot plants — 400 . Five Elms shown 

 along the street with the Privet plants cost only S8.50. Inside this hedge 

 are extensive grounds of an old-fashioned lawn, filled with various kinds 

 of trees.
