DO YOU KNOW 
that all Palestine — from Dan to 
Beer-sheba — is smaller than New 
Jersey? That you can walk from 
one end of Jerusalem to another 
in less than ten minutes? That the 
climate and scenery of this tiny coun¬ 
try is more varied than that of the 
whole of the United States? 
The Real Palestine of 
To-Day 
By Dr. Lewis Gaston Leary 
will give you an entirely new concep¬ 
tion of the Holy Land. Those who 
have read Dr. Leary's articles in 
TRAVEL and Scribner’s need no as¬ 
surance as to the real gripping interest 
with which he clothes the people, the 
customs, and the landmarks of this 
tiny land that is “Holy” to Jew and 
Christian and Moslem. His residence 
for a time in Beirut gave opportunity 
for an unusually thorough study of the 
people themselves — their mode of life, 
their customs and prejudices, and this 
side of the subject is one that always 
will have the widest appeal.

46,000 TREES 
Sold to one man in nine years is the enviable record of the 
Rosedale Nurseries. A trial order brought larger orders from 
year to year, culminating in January, 1912, with an order for 
10,000 Evergreens 
speaking of Roses, a noted rosarian entrusted us with 
A 1,200 Dollar Order 
because he had been well pleased with previous shipments. 
Such orders as these do not come by chance. 
These men have the reputation of being two of the keenest busi¬
