Do not telephone Swarthmore about trees. Do not call about trees. It is 
a strictly mail order office. The trees are far away on the Blue Ridge moun- 
tains. Your letters will receive prompt attention. 
SHAGBARK HICKORIES

We have no idea which is best. As they are so few we suggest that you state 
your preferences in 1 2 3 order or let us send you the one we think does 
best in your locality.
