use and beauty of it all this 
Fall and Winter. 
Don’t wait until next Spring

You g^in nothing. You lose 
much. Fall planted Evergreens 
make rapid root growth, right up 
to freezing, giving the tree the 
necessary foundation and root 
vigor so that it will promptly 
produce a strong, free top growth 
next Spring. 
Our stock is thoroughly acclimatiz¬ 
ed, resulting in more rapid, healthy 
growth, and permanently beautiful 
results. Evergreens have now com¬ 
pleted their season’s growth, showing 
the results they will accomplish for 
you. Get first selections by running 
down to the nursery and pick out 
just the trees you want. Little or big, 
we have thousands of them. You 
may prefer a big. broad tree twenty- 
five feet high to several small ones.
