Everything we 
offer in this book is specially 
low priced but we call your attention to some 
of our unusually fine offers, that we know you will desire. 
CHINESE ELM is the most popular shade tree today because 
it grows so rapidly and makes such a fine looking tree. It 
is planted in every state in the union. 
We believe we have the finest blocks of Chinese Elm trees in 
the United States. Our block of large trees, 8 to 10 ft. size, 
is absolutely the finest block we ever saw. Practically every 
tree in it is perfect, straight, beautifully branched, with a 
wonderful system of roots. This size tree is especially fine for 
planting in the parking because it is large enough so that it 
will not be trampled and run over by children and others. 
Moreover this large size will naturally give you quicker re¬ 
sults. In five years or less you will have a large handsome 
shade tree. Also if you want a tree on the south or west side 
of your home to shade from the hot afternoon sun, then plant 
these 8 to 10 ft. size Chinese Elm. They will grow into a fine 
shade tree quicker than any other tree you could plant. 
Last year our price on these extra large trees was $4.50 for 
4 trees and $12.50 for 12 trees. This year our price is just 
about half this price. ONLY $2.50 FOR 4 TREES AND $6.50 
FOR 12 TREES. 
Of course we have all the smaller size trees and fine ones, 
too. But keep in mind that when you plant a shade tree, you 
want shade as quickly as you possibly can get it and naturally 
these extra fine 8 to 10 ft. trees will give you results quicker 
than a smaller size tree. These large trees are guaranteed to 
grow just like the smaller trees.

RED ARROW 
INSECT SPRAY 
(PYRETHRUM DERRIS SOAP) 
RED ARROW is non-poisonous to humans, poultry, pets and birds 
but it is deadly to chewing and sucking insects. Not only does it de¬ 
stroy ordinary plant lice but it is also effective against Red Spiders, 
Mealy Bugs, Mexican Bean Beetles and other hard to kill pests. Let¬ 
tuce, celery, cabbage, etc., may be sprayed with RED ARROW up until 
the very day it is used without danger of harmful effects on health 
or digestion. Also it is ideal for the flower garden as it cannot dis¬ 
color or injure the most delicate flowers. It does not affect soil 
fertility. It not only kills the insects on the plants but will kill in¬ 
sects in the soil, cut worms, wire worms, root aphis, etc. You simply 
mix it with water and spray. One ounce makes 8 gallons of spray.
