PUSSY WILLOW. A perfectly hardy shrub 
or dwarf tree. Before the leaves come 
out, it has many catkins up and down the 
stems. The branches can be cut any time 
during the winter months and when placed 
in water, will burst into bloom. As soon 
as they bloom, remove from the water and 
they will retain their loveliness for months.

beauty that gives such cheerfulness in 
early spring with its lovely pink, pea¬ 
shaped blossoms before the leaves unfold. 
Grows 15 to 20 feet high. 2 to 3 ft., 40c 
each. 
We have been very much pleased with your 
catalog. It is chuck full of the kind of infor¬ 
mation that most buyers of trees want. It’s as 
personal in some respects as a family album, 
and as newsy as the daily paper. Your fifty- 
seven years of square dealing to everyone Is 
worth while. EMMA BAKER, Nebraska City,

All nursery stock requires immediate and 
careful attention for successful results in plant¬ 
ing. The* stock should be planted as soon as 
possible aftbr receiving it and must not be ex¬ 
posed to th^ wind or sun before planting. 
If the stock should seem somewhat dry upon 
opening the package, it should be buried in wet 
soil for a day or so. Small bundles may be 
placed in tubs of water. This will quickly 
liven the stems and get them in good shape for 
planting. 
If weather conditions will not allow you to 
plant immediately, place your stock in a cool 
cellar. If your planting is delayed more than 
a few days, we would advise you to unpack the 
stock and heel it in in a well drained location. 
To do this, you should dig a trench that is suf¬ 
ficiently wide and deep to receive the roots 
and at least a third of the tops without crowd¬ 
ing or breaking the roots. Use fine soil and 
heap it up well about the stems of the stock.
