dry weather, by an insect commonly known as the red spider. These are so small 
that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, but the plant will lose its vigor and show 
a yellow o r sickly green color. A nicotine, o r other standard spray recom¬ 
mended by your druggist, will control them as well as other biting or chewing 
insects. As a preventative use the spray on all types of evergreens every two to four 
weeks during the hot weather and they will keep in good growing condition as far as 
the insects are concerned. 
Please note that all prices quoted are for plants dug, packed and delivered to 
the carrier, F. O. B. Denton, Texas. We will be pleased to quote delivered prices on 
special orders or larger plantings, upon request, if a list of the plants and sizes wanted 
is mailed to us. We invite inquiries from large estates, parks, public buildings, etc., 
and will submit bids promptly for any part, or all, of the planting, on receipt of a list 
of the plants desired. The stock dug B & B or growing in gallon cans may be shipped 
by freight or truck safely, and the rates in the State of Texas are very reasonable, 
taking a fourth class rate. Out of the State shipments take a higher rate but usually 
effects a saving over the express charges. All classes of nursery stock will, of course, 
move much faster by express and small orders and bareroot nursery stock should be 
sent that way, however a large saving can be made in the heavy balled stock on orders 
that weigh 100 pounds and up if sent by freight or truck. We will appreciate our 
customers telling us how to ship but in the absence of instructions we will use our 
best judgment with the understanding that our responsibility ceases after delivery to 
the carrier in good condition. In the event any shipment does not arrive in a reason¬ 
able length of time kindly notify us so that we may trace and locate it.
