BULLETIN NO. 1 
CHINESE TONKIN CANES 
Nurserymen realize now that when they go to the labor and expense of planting a block 
of Shade Trees, it pays to have every tree produce revenue. Crooked and “bow leg” trees are 
a dead loss. It pays to buy stakes and make every tree salable. First cost is very little as 
the stakes can be used over and over again. We import our Cane Stakes direct from China. 
Bale of 300 canes, 7 ft. long, % to % in. diameter at butt, $12.00 per bale 
Bale of 300 canes, 10 ft. long, % to % in. diameter at butt, $16.00 per bale

GRANULATED PEAT 
Finest material for propagating purposes or for mixing with soil to loosen it up and add 
humus. Especially is this necessary where ericaceous plants are propagated. Mixed with 
sand in your hot beds will give you a better stand of softwood cuttings and reduce fungus 
and damping off. For winter mulching of lawns and all kinds of flower and seed beds it is 
far superior to manure, as it does not have to be raked off in the spring and does not con¬ 
tain weed seeds. 
We are handling only the very best quality. All brands are not alike in quality. Some 
brands appear to be cheaper, but there is a great difference in quantity packed in bale. Most 
cheap brands have 14 to 16 Isushels per bale. Our bales run 20 bushels, dry weight. Thei-e- 
fore, in our bales you get a greater quantity of material.
