* NEOSHO ORNAMENTAL 
■TREE SHADE TREES CAN BE HAD FOR THE DIGGING AND 
" HAULING. Did it ever occur to you to go out in the woods and dig a 
shade tree yourself, or to hire someone to do so for you? Why not? The 
tree itself will cost you nothing and your only expense is the cost of dig¬ 
ging and hauling. It would be a great idea if they would only grow, but 
experience will prove that only one out of ten woods-dug trees grow, 
because you cannot get an adequate root system with them. In the nursery 
row we not only prune the top to make them shapely, but we root-prune 
our trees so that we develop a root system in close to the trunk; that 
enables us to deliver to you a tree that can be successfully transplanted. 
So for the sake of economy and results as well buy—Neosho Nursery 
Grown, Root-Pruned Shade Trees.
