of TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS of production of 
these goods in Montana. This can not be offered you 
by any other house at any price. 
State Nursery and Seed Co.'s trees are the best the 
Northwest can produce and the numerous unsolicited 
testimonials we receive bear out that fact. Our loca- 
tion is ideal, with sioil, that gives all our trees the one 
essential requirement, a good strong fibrous root. 
Our trees are being planted for parking not only by 
private persons but by many of the cities throughout the 
State. We cordially invite correspondence from City 
authorities on this subject. 
Ideal packing is our specialty, the trees reaching 
you in practically the same condition as when they were 
dug. Trees are wrapped the full length in burlap and 
the roots covered with wet moss. 
We guarantee all stock true to name, but can only 
replace trees that die at half price (with the exception 
of the Weeping Cut Leaved Birch) as we use every 
endeavor to send out only trees that are in perfect con- 
dition.
