Ornamental Shade Trees 
Norway Maple 
The recurring droughts have proven it is necessary 
that more trees be planted. The Government is doing 
its part, and it is up to us to help. If everyone would 
plant only a few trees it would greatly assist, and also 
be a benefit to the future generations. 
We would be glad to help your community by sug¬ 
gesting varieties and quoting quantity prices which we 
know will be satisfactory for parks, cemeteries and street 
plantings. Our stock is strictly of the best quality. 
Large shipments mean a saving to us which we pass 
on to you. If you live within several hundred miles it 
will pay you to group your order with your neighbors 
and friends so you can purchase a car or a truck load 
as we can save you money in this quantity.
