Stock That You 
Can Depend On 
You get all of the fibrous vigor- 
giving roots as well as all of the tops 
when you buy Bay State stock. 
N PLANNING your planting, you do sow 
ith ^definite picture firm\y fixed 
in your mind of just the effect that you desire that planting to. give. 
You order from your nursery catalogue accordingly. The shade trees, 
evergreens, shrubs or whatever it may be, arrive. You set them out. 
Then comes the acid test. If they are good, sturdy, strong-rooted, de- 
pendable stock, you will get the effect you had in mind — not only the first 
year, but every year. If they are weak, spindly-rooted, “anaemic” stock 
the first winter will exact its blighting toll and turn your planting plans so 
far awry as to be most distressingly disappointing. 
Avoid such disappointments. Order your stock from a Nursery 
whose stock you can absolutely depend on. 
You can absolutely depend on Bay State stock. It has all stood the 
stringent test of our long, severe New England winters, that automatic- 
ally cull out every weakling. Every plant and tree has good vigorous root 
power. Every plant and tree is sturdy, in the full sense of the word. 
Send for our Hand Book and make your selections with the comfort- 
able assurance of sure results.
