THE TIME 
FOR PLANTING 
Will soon be here again and with it come the usual problems— 
what to plant; the merits of this tree or shrub; how to obtain this 
effect, and many other questions equally important. Let us as- 
sist you! We have half a century’s experience in back of the 
solution. Keep this, the primary principle of success, ever be- 
fore you 
IN PLANNING FOR. PLANTING 
LET QUALITY BE PARAMOUNT 
A few words apropos The only satisfaction in buying inferior 
stock is in the thinking, at the time, that you have saved a 
few dollars on the purchase. This is ephemeral. The erstwhile 
satisfaction vanishes when results become apparent, or rather 
fail to materialize as you were wont to have them. The tree is 
sickly; does not thrive and is the source of displeasure. Your 
only alternative is to replace it. By this time you appreciate the 
value of quality and buy a good, stout tree— one that is healthy 
and well-rooted. Everything is satisfactory now, but think of 
the expense, annoyance and lost time that might have been 
avoided by paying a trifle more at the first for quality. Write for 
our new list — "Young Ornamental Stock.”
