- .. the most impressive way to 
express your interest or senti- 
ment to a friend or loved one on 
any important occasion, such as— 
BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS, 
GRADUATIONS, 
ANNIVERSARIES, ETC. 
... or as a token of esteem, friendship or love at any time, 
to anyone, anywhere. 
Can you think of a nicer way to say “Happy Birth- 
day,” “Congratulations,” or ‘‘Best Wishes’—to a loved one 
or dear friend? Can you think of a more unusual or 
thoughful gift? 
When you send a gift of trees or plants a real com- 
pliment is implied, that you recognize the recipient’s good 
taste, appreciation of the beautiful, and interest in growing 
things. 
Most everyone, in cities and towns as well as in the 
country, has room for additional trees and plants and will 
treasure your selection. And it’s easy to arrange a Gift 
Order through ©. S. Gray Nursery. Simply pick out the 
kind and size of trees and plants you think appropriate 
from this catalog. Sizes, »rices, etc., will be found on price 
list enclosed. Send the regular order blank to O. S. Gray 
Nursery, Arlington, Texas, just as if you were ordering 
for yourself, and enclose a note with “GIFT ORDER” 
written across the top. Siate name and address, nature of 
occasion or reason for gift and a short personal message 
if you care to send one. Upon receipt of your order, or any 
other time you designate, we will send a beautiful, litho- 
graphed Gift Order Certificate, as shown above, to the 
person upon whom you are conferring the gift. If the oc- 
casion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) does not occur during 
regular planting season, we suggest you let us decide date of 
shipment—to insure arrival of plants at right time for 
transplanting.

an investment in happiness—expressing your interest, regard or affection in a 
manner that will live and grow through the vears.
