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 yonder thut 
our wandering eyes may pause, like birds, and rest upon them. 
—DeLong Rice. 


Lerington, Aen tucky 

\\/inee 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 enjay 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 flourishes, 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.

A. saccharinum (Silver Maple). Because of 
its quick growth and good foliage, this 
tree is in great demand. The leaves ap- 
pear early in spring, are light green on 
the upper side, silvery beneath, and re- 
main until late fall. Small flowers open 
before the leaves appear. For planting as 
temporary trees—that is, alternate be- 
tween the hard-wooded and slower grow- 
ers, such as Oaks, Elms, Sugar Maples, 
Gums, etc., the Silver Maple is highly 
recommended.
