trees, shade and good effect are quickly obtained.

Gentlemen: — 
/ desire to acknowledge the receipt of your 
SQ12 catalogue, and in reference to same wish 
to state that the illustrations showing the various 
styles of gardening and methods of beautifying 
home grounds, parks, hotel grounds, etc., are 
very instructive and should tend to encourage 
individuals, firms and communities to further 
the work of making their surroundings more 
beautiful as well as healthful. 
Trusting that the distribution of this cata- 
logue will cause some of our American citizens 
to stop in their chase for the almighty dollar 
long enough to cause their home surroundings 
to be made more beautiful and healthful, not 
only for themselves but also for others, for a 
beautiful place can be divided without loss to 
the owner, in so far as a passerby can enjoy 
the full amount of its beauty without taking 
any material part thereof. 
Yours respectfully, 
JULIUS KOENiO, CUy FoufUr.
