There has never been more thought and attention given to 
HOME BUILDING and BEAUTIFICATION than at the present 
time. 
Practically everyone who owns a HOME is making every effort 
to make it more comfortable and attractive. Setting out trees and 
evergreen plants accomplishes this easily, cheaply and quickly. 
A little money, time and energy spent in setting our fruit and 
nut trees for orchards, evergreen and flowering shrubs for the 
yard yields more happiness, pleasure and profit than any other wty 
it could possibly be spent. Our Nursery stock is very reasonably 
priced. 
The best time to set out fruit arid nut trees, roses and 
flowering shrubs is during the winter months after the foliage 
has shedded. 
The best time to set out evergreen plants is any time 
during the fall, winter and spring months if plants are dug with 
a ball of dirt and kept watered plentifully. 
Evergreen trees and plants can be set during the winter 
months without a ball of dirt provided the roots are NEVER 
allowed to become dry. 
Our aim is to be fair, square and honest, and it is our sincere 
desire to ALWAYS give customers full vaue for their money. Should 
an error occur it is unintentional and we shall be glad to correct it.

tificate of inspection of the Mississippi State Entomologist accom¬ 
panies each bundle of trees. ALL INSPECTION LAWS OF OTHER
