PARK AND CEMETERY. 
GOOD PLANTS MAY BE A LITTLE 
MORE EXPENSIVE — IT COSTS 
MORE TO GROW THEM-BUT THEY 
ARE WORTH THE DIFFERENCE 
T HE superiority of trees and shrubs properly 
grown over ordinary stock is so evident that 
any trifling difference in the first cost is offset 
by the results obtained. First cost is of secondary 
importance. Best results are what you want. They 
can only be had with good stock. 
We offer a most complete assortment of plants that 
have been properly grown. They are plants that will 
give satisfaction. Send for our Spring Catalogue. It 
is just out.

Large Lawns 
Easily Made 
and Kept Beautiful 
Lawns grown with Kalakaare hardy and thrifty — resist heat 
and cold, drought and trampling — better than lawns grown 
from ordinary seeds. There are two big reasons for this su- 
periority of 
Reason 1— It’s a combination 
of the several varieties of 
grass seed which have been 
found to produce the thickest, 
closest knit turf. Clean and 
choice— free from weed seeds, 
chaff and everything else but 
pure seed. 
Reason 2— M xed with this 
choicest seed is a strong con- 
centrate of dry rich manure. 
This manure promotes strong, 
vigorous, early growth, which 
helps the young turf to with- 
stand drought and heat— and 
results in a beautiful lawn in 
remarkably short time. 
A prominent Park Official who planted 1,000 lbs. of Kalaka 
last year writes: 
“I expect to use about 500 pounds more of Kalaka. We are 
well pleased with the results obtained from your seed, and I 
have been telling a good many people about it.” 
Ask Your Local Dealer for Kalaka, or if he does not have it 
we will supply you. 5-pound box prepaid, $1.00 East, or $1.25 
West of Omaha. Attractive quantity prices to large users of 
grass seed.

What Cemetery Superintendents 
Need to Know 
The need for exact information about other cemeteries, 
laws relating to the dead, etc., often comes to the Ceme- 
tery Superintendent. 
Fairchild Cemetery Manual 
gives in compact form the greatest amount of such in- 
formation that was ever compiled. 
The legal information alone is worth ten times the cost 
of the book. 
No cemetery superintendent who has ever examined the 
Manual would do without it. 
$1.00 in paper covers $1.50 in cloth binding
