Fertilizers and Soil-Conditioners 
The success of any planting must ultimately depend largely on the available plant-food and moisture in the 
soil. We list here a number of proved plant-foods which will make your garden and planting produce more abun¬ 
dantly, as well as aid your soil in retaining a greater supply of moisture.

Take Care of Your Trees 
Don’t make the mistake of taking your trees for granted. This 
is a common error of many home-owners. They have real value, as 
you would quickly find out should you have to make a replacement. 
It takes many years to grow a fine specimen, which, if weakened 
through neglect, can be ruined in a few moments during a severe 
storm. Trees eat, breathe, and become diseased—just like humans. 
It, therefore, is necessary to call in an expert at intervals to inspect 
and suggest how to keep them in a healthy condition. 
SPRAYING 
Trees are attacked by many insects. 
Some chew the leaves and others suck 
the sap from the leaves and bark. 
There is but one way to check these 
pests and that is by spraying at the 
proper seasons. A properly sprayed tree 
is adequately protected through the 
entire season. 
TREE SURGERY 
In certain cases where decay has 
penetrated far into the tree, surgery is 
necessary. This is a highly scientific 
procedure and should only be attempted 
by experienced workmen. Our men, 
under the expert direction of Mr. Jenner, 
are capable of handling any work of 
this type you may need. 
PRUNING 
Dead and dying limbs in your trees 
are not only unsightly, but also provide 
a breeding-ground for insects and dis¬ 
eases. Therefore pruning is highly im¬ 
portant to the appearance and health 
of trees and consists of the removal of all 
dead, diseased, interfering, and undesir¬ 
able limbs, and the painting of all cuts 
with a compound which water-proofs, 
preserves, and acts as an antiseptic. 
FEEDING 
The first step in preserving your trees 
is to keep them well-nourished. An 
under-nourished tree, like an underfed 
person, is susceptible to disease and the 
attacks of insects and borers. In our 
forests, trees are fed by decaying leaves. 
This, of course, does not occur where 
trees are growing around homes as the 
leaves are raked up and not allowed to 
rot. Therefore, it becomes necessary to 
feed them artificially. 
BRACING 
The beauty and symmetry of a tree 
are often lost by storm damage. This 
can be prevented by the proper bracing 
of structurally weak trees. 
We wish to impress upon you the 
fact that we want only satisfied clients, 
and our aim is to advise only the essen¬ 
tial work at extremely moderate prices. 
You will be pleasantly surprised to learn how economically you 
can give your trees proper care. Have your trees inspected 
yearly and attend to the necessary work. You will find this 
way most economical. 
It will cost you nothing and place you under no obligation 
to call in our Mr. Jenner for advice on the treatment of your 
trees. He is waiting for YOUR call, so don’t put it ofF. The 
longer that infection is left, the farther it will penetrate into 
the tree, and the more money it is going to cost to repair it.
