SALZER’S SHADE TREES 
Not only may much comfort as well as beauty be derived from shade 
trees but they help to retain the moisture in the ground. They per¬ 
form a real service for man. When planting trees, use fine compost 
or top soil for filling in around the roots, plant deeply and firm well. 
Cut away any broken or bruised branches or roots. Never use manure 
unless it is thoroughly rotted. It is also important that there be proper 
drainage. Water should never stand in the hole where the tree is to 
be planted. 
We offer the following trees in five to six foot and six to eight foot 
size, priced for shipment not prepaid. Salzer’s trees are planted 
throughout the entire country and are offered to you at a most rea¬ 
sonable price.
