EXPENSIVE PACKING IS NOT 

 NECESSARY TO DELIVER YOUR 

 TREES AND SHRUBS TO CUS- 

 TOMERS IN THRIVING CON- 

 DITION 



Moss too expensive; straw unsatis- 

 factory on long distance sliipments. 

 The Winfield Nursery, Winfield, Kans., 

 some years ago searched for a cheap- 

 er, satisfactory packing. 



Tliey tliought the stringy sort of 

 sawdust accumulated in making our 

 cypress shingles (Shingle Tow) would 

 fill the bill. It did and they are buy- 

 ing yet. Many others are too. 



ITS COST is generally about one- 

 eighth that of moss. 



ITS PROVEN QUALITIES.— Clean, 

 light, economical to handle, retains the 

 moisture excellently, excludes the air 

 but does not heat, delivers shipments 

 thriving, even on long distances, or 

 carries stock safely through winter 

 storage. 



EASY TO USE. — In packing out car- 

 load shipments in bulk or shipments 

 in boxes, pack it around the roots. 

 That keeps them moist enough. On 

 baled stock, add a little oat straw to 

 help hold the tow close to the roots.

 any further information furnished on
