In getting up our Circular it was first in¬ 
tended to be only a supplementary leaflet, to 
contain a few new designs. The next step was 
to have better cuts and show a few improve¬ 
ments in several pieces. Tlie idea grew and 
grew until now I have quite a Booklet. Will 
you send for a copy ? With your kindly as¬ 
sistance we will go on prospering. 
We have not turned our shop into an ammuni¬ 
tion factory, hut have enlarged it. and shall 
continue to manufacture the Ammunitions of

' ' shall I tell niy ScCTet? 
My home is my pleasure. Perhaps it didn’t cost as 
much as some houses to build. But what fun I’ve 
i planning it ! And, of course, the grounds have 
' been my greatest source of joy. 
' Moons’ helped me. First, by sending their cata- 
logue. It suggested just the right species based on 
rough plan I made. And such fine, healthy 
1 ‘ specimens of evergreens; not expensive, either, 
. especially when you consider their size and 
growth. 
But, my secret. I was made a flattering offer, I find the house isn’t 
worth any more, but the grounds are. So, really, my pleasure has 
been making me money. Moons’ have helped me. If I were you, 
I’d write Moons’ for Catalogue No. A -4 . They have a Hardy Tree 
or Plant for every place and pmrpose.
