ORNAMENTAL SHADE TREES 
American Elm 
The recurring droughts have proven 
it is necessary that more trees be 
planted. The Government is doing its 
part, and it is up to us to help. Plant 
more and more trees, but be sure that 
they are nursery grown and have been 
inspected against scale and other tree 
diseases. Do not buy your shade trees 
of every “tree peddler” and “tree trim¬ 
mer” who can only offer you a “creek 
dug” elm, but buy only from a good 
recognized nursery or through the nur¬ 
sery’s authorized salesman who can show 
his credentials from that nursery, to¬ 
gether with a strong guarantee that the 
trees have been inspected by your state 
officials and found to be free from 
disease. 
RED BUDS—3 to 4 feet 75c each, 4 to

best native trees, making a beautiful

ing, spreading branches. We are for¬ 
tunate to have a nice lot of these, 
despite the severe droughts of the 
past several years. We will fill your 
orders with only the best, A-1 straight,

pare these prices with those you will

ELMS (Vase Shape) — An American 
Elm with vase formation of limbs. 
Uniform type, because all are “budded” 
from an original tree. This tree is a 
very rapid growing Elm and is also a 
distinct and improved variety over our 
American Elm. While the price of this 
tree may be a little higher than our 
American Elms, yet we believe it to 
be worth much more in the long run. 
This variety is resistant to borers and 
other insects of the common Elms.

Elm.” We are offering only the very 
best of straight, smooth, well-rooted 
trees, with no forks in the tops, in this 
remarkable variety at the low prices 
which you will find less than one-half 
the price offered by any nursery for
