Three LinKs That Connect 
Biltmore Nursery and You 
First . The Biltmore Nursery Books—which help you to plan 
Your planting, to select the plants. Second , the manner in which 
the plants are shipped from Biltmore Nursery to you, by mail, 
express or freight. Third, the select strains of Biltmore Nursery 
plants which result in beauty and utility in after years. 
When the early days of Spring remind you of the planting you 
1 l?. lanne d to do, but for which you nave ordered no plants, 
let Biltmore Nursery help you. Don’t put off the planting until 
another season—it will be just as much trouble then as now, 
and you 11 have to wait just that much longer for the full 
beauty of the trees and shrubs. 
Biltmore Nursery can fill your orders promptly—because of a 
good business organization. Biltmore Nursery trees and plants 
will grow anywhere in the United States—because they are 
propogated high up in the North Carolina mountains, where the 
extremes of climate give great hardiness. Biltmore Nursery pro¬ 
ducts will start off into vigorous growth, as soon as. transplanted— 
because they have been bred and fed and trained to mahe them 
do just that.

VELVETLAWN 
Fertilizer and Grass Seed Sower 
Makes 
Beautiful 
Lawns 
Enriches 
the Soil 
Tlie “Velvetlawn” Fertilizer and Grass Seed Sower will 
sow any brand of dry pulverized fertilizer and will also 
sow Grass and Clover Seeds. The machine sets low to 
the ground, the bottom of the hopper being only two 
inches from the ground; therefore the wind cannot blow 
away the materials being sown. The cultivator teeth work 
the seed or fertilizer into the soil. ELIMINATES WASTE 
PROMOTES GROWTH. 
SAVE THE COST OF SOD 
It is foolish to sod, because a better lawn can be had by sowing 
pure bred grass seed at one-tenth the expense. Cost of the machine 
included. “Velvetlawn’’ Fertilizer and Grass Seed Sowers have 
proven their worth by the work they have done—by the money they 
have saved. It is even more necessary than a good lawn mower. The 
grade of a newly-made lawn can be maintained and the proper 
amount of seed worked into the soil at the same time. Invaluable 
in the maintainance of old lawns, because the cultivator teeth 
work up the soil and new seed is being sown at the same 
time. 
ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED to do all we claim for 
them, or money refunded without fuss.
