Beautiful May Day Tree 
May Day Tree is a native of the cold rugged plains 
of Siberia. Prof. Hansen, father of the Bush Cherry 
(see page 61 ), has greatly improved and developed 
the May Day Tree for the Dakotas and colder re¬ 
gions of this country. Thus it is so hardy that it 
thrives immediately in any section of the country.

WITH THE FIRST BLOOMS 
OF THE SEASON? 
MAY DAY TREE 
Provides Some of the Earliest Masses of 
White Flowers, First of May 
The first tree to leaf out in the spring. The 
first tree to bloom. Fragrant trusses of pure white 
bloom completely cover the entire plant in late 
April or early May. Bloom clusters resemble the 
Lilac in shape and are lovely for cutting. Let this 
wonderful tree provide you with the first bouquets 
of the season. May be left in bush form for the 
border or trimmed up and grown as a specimen 
tree for the lawn. Flowers are followed by small 
fruits which are edible. Birds delight in them and 
come flocking to the tree. Grows rapidly, is per¬ 
fectly hardy anywhere, and we heartily recom¬ 
mend it to those of you who are 
looking for something new and 
different for your grounds. 
We offer a nice stock of them 
in heavy-rooted, 2- to 3-ft., well- 
branched plants, at only.

Dear Mr. Krider: 
The clipping I am sending you regarding my garden is 
from our local paper. 
It might please you to know that the Roses mentioned 
were bought from you last year and this year. The largest 
and most fragrant blooms that I have ever seen, and 
better than anyone else around here has had this year. 
Three-quarters of my garden came from your nursery. 
Everything that I received from you this year has done 
better than I could have imagined. 
You may rest assured that I will tell everybody who 
wants to buy nursery stock, about your nursery. 
Very truly yours, 
HOWARD BACON. 
Note: Here is the clipping to which Mr. Bacon refers. 
"ATTRACTIVE GARDEN. One of the most attractive gar¬ 
dens in the Eastern section of the city is that cultivated 
by Howard Bacon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bacon, 
51 Pendexter St. Fifty Rose bushes are in bloom and 
there is a profusion of Zinnias and Salvia. In the rear 
of the house is a pool which adds to the beauty of the 
planting. Bacon plans to enter the Exter Agricultural 
school this fall. He will study floriculture."

Gentlemen: 
This will acknowledge receipt of shipment of Roses re¬ 
cently ordered from you. 
I wish to advise that I am very much pleased with the 
plants in every way. Same have been planted according 
to instructions and I am anticipating great results. 
For your information I might say that I have purchased 
Roses from some of the most reliable nurseries in Penn¬ 
sylvania, Ohio, Iowa and Texas, but I do not believe 
I have ever received as nice plants as the ones shipped 
by you. 
Yours very truly,

Dear Mr. Krider: 
I wish to say that I very much appreciate your kindness 
in filling my order. 
I also want to tell you that I have never received any 
Roses in such fine condition as these were. They are truly 
splendid. Also, the Peonies were perfect, good eyes, and 
none hurt at all. The tags enabled me to plant the things 
in the proper places, and I thank you for such care in 
marking them. 
Once more accept my thanks. 
Very sincerely, 
MRS. W. A. ESTES.

Dear Sirs: 
The shipment of trees and shrubs which I ordered from

good order. 
I wish to thank you folks for the good specimens sent

Spruce. I have had good results from past orders to your 
firm and I am hoping that I can save all the trees and 
shrubs in this latest order.
