A Safe 
Investment 
Planting is one of the 
few investments which do 
not depreciate. It always 
brings increased returns 
in actual value and satis¬ 
faction. Shade trees, 
ornamental trees, and 
flowering shrubs create 
value that increases the 
worth of a property at least 
20 per cent. The return is 
immediate and it in¬ 
creases every year.
