PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Seeds and bulbs offered will be forwarded as 
they are ready. All seed prices are postpaid 
and safe arrival is guaranteed. Please send 
cash with order. No. C. O. D. shipments can 
be made. 
Seed is offered subject to arrival, although I 
expect to have nearly all sorts in hand when 
this list is mailed. I try to send out only good 
seeds, but I cannot control the conditions under 
which they are planted, and I do not guarantee 
the results, nor will I be in any way responsible 
for the crop. This is a primary condition of 
sale, and the placing of an order with me from 
this list by a customer constitutes an auto¬ 
matic acceptance of it.

TREES FROM SEEDS 
The sowing of tree seeds is a most prac¬ 
tical investment, a safe way to build up a 
reserve for the future, for yourself and your 
children. 
Trees, as they grow, are creating tangible 
wealth, a true increase in your own and the 
country’s assets. Unlike money savings, they 
have always a real value, based on an actual 
and surely increasing need for their products. 
They are not subject to currency manipula¬ 
tions, and bank failures cannot harm them. 
There is no better way of making marginal 
lands profitable, than the planting of them in 
trees. 
WIND-BREAKS 
Those who live on the prairie, or in exposed 
situations anywhere that cold winds sweep in 
winter, know well the value of close wind¬ 
breaks. White Fir, White Spruce, Norway 
Spruce, Arborvitae and Hemlock are all good, 
and properly handled, they will provide also a 
reserve for fuel or fence posts. 
TO STOP EROSION 
Re-forestation of slopes that wash badly, is 
the surest way of saving them. Unless you 
plant trees, you will lose both the land and its 
use. 
In some parts of the country, particularly 
on lighter soils, wind erosion, actual blowing 
away of the soil, causes heavy losses. Plant¬ 
ing of compact shelter belts, or of high hedges 
at intervals, will help to check this.
