HARDY SHRUBS 35 
Department of Hardy Trees, Shrubs and Vines C_ 
Our forty-six years’ experience in Montana has 
enabled us to select and grow only such Trees, 
Slirubs and Vines that we have found to be hardy 
and adaptable to conditions found in Montana and 
the Northwest. This is something no other insti¬ 
tution can offer you. 
CARE IN WATERING 
Growth should be encouraged during the early 
Summer months and ample water should he applied 
at this time. Do not merely wet the surface but 
give several successive applications, so that the 
water goes to the very lowest root extremeties. 
About the last part of August and during Septem¬ 
ber water should be gradually withheld so that the 
Trees and Shrubs will have a chance to mature up 
properly for the Winter. After the leaves have 
fallen and the Trees have gone into their Winter 
wormant state, it is well to soak with water again. 
NOTICE 
We endeavor to send out only stock that will 
grow with proper care and attention. We should 
be advised BEFORE AUGUST 1 should any Trees, 
Shrubs, etc., fail to grow so that our representative 
may have an opportunity of calling and inspecting 
same. We will replace any of our nursery stock 
at one-half price that does not start growth by 
August 1.
