For Shade and Beauty 
When the vision flies out over the earth it would become weary if 
it had nothing to obstruct it; so God planted the tree out yomder that 
our wandering eyes may pause, like birds, and rest wpon them. 
—DeLong Rice. 


Lerington, Kentucky 

Wa Aas: hot summer sun beats down, you long for the welcome shade of a 
Maple, an Oak, or a broad-spreading Elm. But to have and enjoy such 
shade and shelter, you must plant ahead. The trees must be planted in fall 
or spring when the weather is cool. Then the roots take hold, the tree flour- 
ishes, and in a surprisingly few seasons the outspreading branches give the 
protection you desire. 
We can supply—at very low prices—large trees that will give immediate 
effect, as well as smaller specimens from 6 to 15 feet high, which need a little 
more time to develop after moving to your place. Our trees are well grown, 
root pruned, and transplanted several times; they are truly Hillenmeyer 
standard. 
He Who Plants a Tree, Plants for Posterity”’ 
There is no warrior who'll fight for life 
More valiantly than a tree, 
On rocky wind-swept ledge at mountain crests 
Or on the fiercely elemental coastline by the sea. 
—R. H. Weisbrod.
