“The most interesting romance for Americans is 
America’s own story.” 
A History 
Of the American People 
By 
WOODROW WILSON 
Ph.D., Litt.D., LL.D. 
Former President of Princeton University 
D O you know that Woodrow Wilson has 
written the most scholarly and most 
readable narrative History of the 
United States that our country has yet 
produced ? 
The History is in five volumes, is profuse¬ 
ly illustrated with maps, plans, pictures, 
etc., and is written with such delightful 
gracility of style that, with all its authority, 
it reads like an enticing romance. Woodrow 
Wilson put half a lifetime of research into 
this great work; and the result is a wonder¬ 
ful picture of the growth of our country 
from the days of Columbus down to the 
accession of Theodore Roosevelt. 
The object of this advertisement is to 
make to you a special half-price offer. You 
may have the books at just half the regular voodkow wilson 
price; you may send them back to us if you don’t like them, and you may 
have a year’s subscription to Harper’s Weekly (or Harper’s Magazine) 
included without any additional payment. ’ 
"iioTHKKs The price is $12.00, including the periodical, and the entire five 
Fmnkiin square volumes come to you as soon as you send us $1.00. It’s a 
great chance. 
The most perfect series of maps in color ever published, showing the territorial 
growth, political changes, and general development of the United States. There 
is a full-page portrait of every president from Washington to Roosevelt, fac¬ 
simile reproductions of rare manuscripts, state papers and governmental 
records, together with numerous illustrations by Pyle, Remington, Fenn, 
Chapman, Christy, and many others. The books are bound in a man- 
to HARPER’S. XN. ner befitting the importance of the work. A high-grade paper has 
for one year, for which I enclose $1.00 and agree to been used and no expense spared,

The Planting of LargeTrees 
The planting of large trees has 
been done more or less for years, 
but the result has not been alto¬ 
gether satisfactory. For the last few 
years the demand for large trees has 
been increasing, especially where one 
wishes immediate effect, so that for 
shade, screening and barren places, 
it has made the demand for large 
trees much greater. 
Before entering into this branch of 
the work, we looked carefully into 
all the different appliances and ma¬ 
chines for moving the large trees, 
and, after seeing the work of the dif¬ 
ferent machines, and watching the 
result of the transplanting, we found 
that the Ryder Machine is the best 
in every respect. 
The secret of success in large 
tree-moving is to move the tree as 
quickly as possible, with the proper 
amount of dirt on the roots, in pro¬ 
portion to the size of the tree. This 
our machine does, whether the earth 
is frozen or not. 
We are not the inventors of this 
machine, but have adopted this one, 
as we found it the best. 
It is much easier and cheaper to 
remove the dirt from the roots, but 
it is not successful. We_are pre¬ 
pared to furnish estimates on mov¬ 
ing or furnishing large trees. The 
price for moving or furnishing these 
trees varies from $50 up, according 
to the size, location, how far they are 
to be moved, also the condition of 
the ground.
