A Few Dollars Invested Now 
Will Do Wonders In 
Beautifying Your Grounds for Next Season 
T ake for example that hedge you have had in 
mind; plant it this Fall when help is easy to get 
and you can give it the time and attention it 
needs to insure a quick satisfactory result. Next 
Spring it will leaf out early and start growing as hap- 
pily as if it had always been there. 
Privet, arbor vitae and barberry seem to be the gen- 
eral hedge favorites. But every one has a poTlicular 
favorite. Why not make Barberry yours? Its foliage 
turns a bright scanet in the Fall, and when the leaves 
drop off at the beginning of Winter, its bright red ber- 
ries appear and remain fresh throughout the Winter. 
Let us know how many feet long your hedge space 
is, and we will give you prices on any or all the three 
kinds mentioned. 
All-Year-Round Colorful Shrubs

all-year-round colorful ones? Color when in blcom in

and Winter. Color in their barks all the time. 
They will offer some delight for you 
the entire year around. This complete 
list of eleven kinds, quantities as stated, 
ccsts but S2.75. Prices on other quan- 
tities gladly given.

Choice Shade Tree Maples 
Why buy little scant rooted whips of 
trees that have to struggle along for 
years before getting a start; when for 
so surprisingly little as $2 you can have 
iaa 
our fine vigorous Norway Maples that are from 10 to 
12 feet high, and with a trunk measuring from 4i" to 
5" around. Trees that have a heavy compact mass of 
fine roots, guaranteeing their safe transplanting and 
quick growth. 
In a surprisingly short time such trees will have 
doubled their spread of branches and formed into 
beautiful shapely specimens. 
They cost but $2 apiece, or 5 for $8.75. 
Unusual Things in Evergreens 
While you are buying evergreens, why not include a 
few of the less usual ones, that you can show your 
friends with pride, and, that will always be a beauti- 
fying feature to your grounds? 
Japanese Cryptomeria. for instance — it is a stately, 
long needled, plumed foliaged variety, that gives a 
choice effect as either a specimen tree or when planted 
in a group with others. 
Then there’s the Pfitzers Juniper, a 
medium height, compact, fine feathery 
foliaged kind, that looks almost like a 
mist of silvery-grayish green. It grows 
in an upright spreading shape that is 
most effective in whatever size. 
Let us give you a more detailed de- 
scription of these two particular ones, 
along with some of our other distinct 
varieties, with size and prices. 
Planting Helps 
It’s one thing to advertise that we 
give planting help suggestions, and 
quite another thing to give suggestions 
that do decidedly help you in your act- 
ual planting. 
Such helps are apt to be too techni- 
cal, too elaborate, or too something; 
any of which makes them impractical 
for most people. You will, we are sure, 
find our suggestions quite the reverse. 
Send us your problem and see. Our 
catalogue you are welcome to. Do all 
planting possible this Fall. It’s to your 
advantage, as well as the planting.
