ALABAMA NURSERY COMPANY'S 
TREE GAUGE 
Not patented. Any one is at liberty to make them, or to use this as 
a basis for a better one; if wanted we will be glad to help. We used 
the standard wire gauge for our model; thus far our gauge has cost 
four years’ work, (with a little time on the side for other things) a 
little less than four hundred dollars in real money, and a law suit, yet 
to be settled. (We are not worrying.) We wanted a tree gauge that 
was accurate, indestructible, compact, easy to read, quickly under- 
stood; we think we have it. It is made from cold rolled steel, about 
the thickness of a heavy cross cut saw; is practically indestructible; 
is guaranteed accurate to within a limit of one hundredth of an inch; 
both sides are marked alike, the gauge is always right side up; all di- 
mension parts are deep enough to give a correct diameter measure- 
ment; all sharp edges or burrs that would bruise the bark have been 
removed. 
Price, regardless of quantity, each, postpaid.
