A common method in nurseries is 

 to grow trees 3 ft. x 3 ft. apart. In 

 this way 4840 are grown per acre. 

 Such crowding makes slender, 

 spindling trees. 



With Moons', the practice is 4 ft. 

 X 3 ft. while small, then 8 ft. x 6 ft., 

 which reduces the number per acre 

 to 3630. But obviously trees given 

 so much space are best. 



Trees grown closely 

 together "shootup," 

 become spindling 

 and cannot develop 

 a good spread of 

 branches. The roots 

 also suffer, making 

 transplanting un- 

 certain. 



Culture 



: NE of the things that would have particularly impressed 

 you in that same walk through the nurseries would 



have been the high state of cultivation of the entire 



acreage, and the e\ident systematic pruning, spraying and 

 indi\'1dual care that each tree or plant receives. 



No Additional Packing Charges 



HEN on the way back to the office, if you had looked in 

 at the packing rooms you would have noticed that all 

 the piles of trees and plants as they were being assem- 

 bled for different orders, were very carefully handled, and as 

 far as possible protected from exposure or drying breezes. 



With all this care and expense of labor and packing material 

 — apparently used \^ithout stint — you would have wondered 

 how we could afford to do it in such a liberal way and still 

 make no special charge for packing, as you know is custom- 

 ary with many nurseries. 



Moons' Trees Available for Planting 

 Throughout the United States 



HE impression sometimes prevails that it is best to get 

 one's trees and shrubbery nearby. This is not neces- 



sarily the case, for this Company is constantly shipping 



stock great distances as well as to nearby places. Peach trees 

 supplied by us are fruiting on the hills of distant Manchuria. 

 Another distant shipment made to the Parks of Seattle, 

 Washington, is reported as the best packed stock received. 

 From Montreal, Can., we get the following: 



"I have your letter of April 14th, for which I am very much 

 obliged. 



"The shrubs and trees arrived in excellent condition, and are 

 splendid quality, quite the best I have ever seen." 



(Signed) H. M. Marler, 



One of Moons' trees, 

 showing the spread 

 of branches and 

 quantity and quality 

 of root growth as a 

 result of the trees 

 having plenty of 

 room to grow in. 



From Fairbury, 

 following: 



April 17, 1916. 



Neb., we received the 



"You remember that I purchased a bill in the 

 Spring, and it may aflFord you some satisfaction 

 to know that out of the entire shipment I did 

 not lose a single one." 



(Signed) John C. Hartigan, 

 August 16, 1916. Fairbury, Neb. 



Instances like these are not uncommon and

Service Helps 



^^ROPPINGin at the office before leav- 

 I p J ing, you would doubtless have over- 

 ^ heard fragments of conversation and 

 caught bits of letter dictation that con- 

 vinced you of the particular care this Com- 

 pany takes in answering its correspondents' 

 questions, and giving planting suggestions 

 about landscape problems of every kind. 



Such questions as "How can I screen my 

 laundry yard?" "How can we relieve the 

 bareness of our house foundations?" ' ' What 

 is a good tree for street planting?" or "What 

 can I plant in a shady place?" 

 along with countless similar 

 queries are answered by "men 

 who know." Their knowledge 

 is definite and based on daily 

 life \\'ith plants growing under 

 all sorts of conditions. Their 

 answers are so clearly given 

 that even an amateur, with 

 little or no experience, would 

 know what was best for his 

 purposes and just how much 

 Moons' stock would cost him.
