With Moon’s Trees and Shrubs It Cost But $80 to Get This Result 
T WO years’ time and an expenditure of less 
than 1% of the total cost of house and lot 
have given an attractive appearance and 
comfortable, homelike atmosphere to this place, 
that has added fully 20% to its value. 
The fact that such a small expenditure will 
increase property values so much, and at the 
same time give enjoyment, is a pretty good reason 
why all home grounds, no matter how small, 
should be nicely planted with Trees and Shrub¬ 
bery. 
If interested, send for catalog. Should personal 
service in helping to solve your problems be de¬ 
sired, let us know, that we can better tell how 
Moon’s Trees and Shrubbery may be used to 
further beautify your place.

“That is perfectly splendid,” cried Mrs. 
Spence, as she took in the totals and saw 
the “savings” item. “I had no idea you 
had actually made so much out of Castle- 
ton acquaintances. Most of it is that 
Parker deal, isn’t it?” 
“A good deal of it,” admitted Mr. 
Spence. “Perhaps I ought not to put that 
thirteen hundred into this account, because 
another fellow might not find a move like 
ours netted him actual money as in this 
case. But if I deduct that, I certainly 
have a right to add in Larry’s chicken 
profit and the four hundred profit on the 
garden. If I didn’t count that increase in 
business which came from nothing in the 
world but a wider outlook and new ac¬ 
quaintances out here, I still can figure a 
profit or saving on the year of $1800, count¬ 
ing garden and chickens. And that’s not 
including health and strength and the joy- 
o’-life we’ve all had out of the place.” 
“Well,” observed Mrs. Spence, with un¬ 
wonted keenness and feminine logic, “as 
your balance sheet shows things as they 
are, and as you did get thirteen hundred 
dollars’ worth out of Castleton acquaint¬ 
ances, I can’t see where you would put it 
in the account if it wasn’t under ‘income.’ ” 
“That’s exactly what I thought!” an¬ 
swered Mr. Spence. 
“But there are some of these figures that 
look queer to me,” went on Mrs. Spence. 
“Why, for instance, is our rent so low 
here, when it was so high in town ? Sure¬ 
ly this place costs us more than $295, when 
it cost us $1200 a year in the city?” 
“You are quite right. In the city we 
paid $1200 a year for a pigeon coop,” an¬ 
swered Mr. Spence. “Here we pay taxes 
and repair our house, paint it, etc. But if 
I figure interest on our $18,000 investment 
at $900 (which is at 5%), our ‘rent’ would 
total $1195, practically the same as we paid 
in the city. On the other hand, if I add the 
interest to the rent, I must add the same 
amount to my income sheet—they balance, 
so I left both ofif. In the city I had $25,000
