WHAT YOU CAN DO 
IN NOVEMBER 
Personal Message from Ilenry Ilicks 
N OVEMBER is the time to buy 
shade for next year. In our 
nursery you will find specimen shade 
trees from which we will help you 
select the best varieties to suit your 
particular situation. These trees have 
been transplanted and given the best 
of nursery care. We can therefore 
guarantee them to produce the results 
you want. 
The trees in our nursery are the 
result of GO years experience in grow¬ 
ing plants for the finest places 
throughout the eastern states. Every 
plant is guaranteed and the guarantee 
really means what it says. Our 
customers do not have to bicker with 
us in regard to replacement. We are 
always glad to take their word con¬ 
cerning plants we have sold and we 
have never yet had occasion to change 
this practice. 
We want you to come to our 
nursery, and to make personal se¬ 
lection of the things you need. If 
you are keen about planting large 
trees, we can save you ten to twen¬ 
ty years and give you immediate 
shade. If you wish to plant small 
trees and see them grow, we have 
many varieties in small sizes, that 
3 r ou can easily call for and take 
home* with you in your car. 
Here are a few shade trees fitted 
to beautify any lawn:

When the leaves are dropping 
from the deciduous trees it is time 
to plant evergreens. They work all 
the year round. If you wish to 
screen some unsightly object, ever¬ 
greens will do it at once, or if you 
wish a background for a formal 
planting the permanent green of 
evergreens is better than any wall. 
Every plant is a specimen and is 
guaranteed.

Prepare Now for the 
Green Velvety Lawn 
You’ll Want NextSpring 
AS an ideal winter mulch for 
lawns, “F. & I.”—nature’s 
fertilizer and insecticide—is the 
logical choice — of lawn and 
garden experts who make careful 
comparison. 
All winter long “F. & I.” will 
protect your grass from extreme 
cold and sudden thaws. While 
the melting snows leach out the 
potash, ammonia and phosphoric 
acid which feed the roots in early 
spring. 
“F. & I.” is both a fertilizer 
and an insecticide—a purely vege¬ 
table product which rapidly dis¬ 
integrates, adding valuable humus 
to the soil. “F. & I.” is applied 
exactly as you would use an 
animal manure—yet it contains 
no insect pests or weed seeds and 
is free from objectionable odor. 
Many of America’s most at¬ 
tractive suburban properties and 
extensive country estates depend 
upon "F. & I.” for their beauty 
of lawn and garden.
