strip from the tidewater from Lake 
Pontchartrain.

Shrewd people buy merchandise from estab- 
lished houses — houses that will be in business 
when they need service. Why should not a plant- 
er buy his Trees, Shrubs, Vines, Roses, Bulbs 
and Seeds with the same precaution? How dis- 
appointing it is when your trees or shrubs have 
leaved out to find something you did not order- 
something you do not want. Have you ever had 
this experience? Don’t take any risk when or- 
dering. Buy direct from the producer and at first 
cost. We have a reputation at stake. Have been 
in business 58 years and expect to continue
