Real economy in Quick Growing shade trees. This 
offer consists of trees selected out of stock that has

nor are the tops trained as in the above transplanted 
stock. These cannot be guaranteed at prices quoted 
except that trees are in good live condition when de- 
livered; with a little extra care in starting,ete., and 
pruning the trees, results can be very favorable.
