with trees and shrubbery is worth much more than that which is not. 

 Then, too, there is a permanent value, accumulating from year to year, in 

 a planting of trees and shrubbery, while the house,^ its furnishings and 

 other things connected with the home deteriorate as time goes on. 



Moons' Nurseries 



Forty years ago Moons' Nursery, or Glenwood Nursery, as it is often 

 called, consisted of a small plot of ten acres. To-day it covers an area 

 of over four hundred acres and is the home of more than 2,000 varieties 

 of trees and plants for lawn decoration. William H. Moon, who founded 

 this business, and whose name its corporate title bears, had been our 

 general manager for almost all of these forty years of advancement, until a 

 few months ago, when he was called from us by a sudden and untimely 

 death. The organization he did so much to develop, and the policy of the 

 "square deal," of which he was such an apostle, shall continue, and through 

 the quality of our products and the service we are prepared to render, 

 this advancement should go on. 



Moon Nursery Service 



Nothing is more discouraging than to commence haphazardly to produce 

 a landscape effect of large or small pretensions without knowledge ot 

 the plants to use or of how to arrange them — and waste time and money 

 by making a failure. Besides — what's the use? Everyone is not expected 

 to be a horticulturist. One of the reasons our business has been built to 

 its present proportions is our ability to fit the plant to the environment— 

 a knowledge of the ways and habits of tree and plant life and of the capa- 

 bilities of soil conditions, which is the result of forty years' experience. 

 If you are, therefore, undecided what to plant or how to arrange your trees 

 or shrubbery, tell us your problems and our experience is at your service 

 to help you in every way to obtain "a more beautiful lawn." 

 If you have in mind some scheme of landscape development, that embodies 

 the laying out of drives and walks, the grading and draining of land or the 

 erection of garden architecture, you need the services of a competent 

 professional landscape architect. We personally know many of these and 

 at any time shall gladly give names and addresses of those we consider 

 best able to handle your problems — but when it's nursery stock you want, 

 you need Moons'. 



Seasons for Planting 



Early Spring and Fall plantings are perhaps more universally demanded 

 by tree and plant life for the fullest development of their possibilities, 

 although too literal construction should not be placed upon this state- 

 ment, since among the thousands of varieties there are always some, more 

 hardy and less sensitive to physical conditions, which admit of planting 

 at intermediate seasons. This is especially true of Moons' stock, because 

 it has been frequently root pruned or transplanted to prepare it for moving. 

 Spring plantings should be arranged for as early in the year as possible, 

 and deliveries may be made from the latter part of March until about 

 May 15th — evergreens and potted plants even later. August and Sep- 

 tember are the Autumn months most suitable for "putting out" ever- 

 greens, and from October until the ground is closed by frost the great 

 majority of deciduous stock may be safely planted.
