Gentlemen: 
I moved to this part of New 
York State three years ago, built 
a new house and am developing 
a small place. Problems of drain- 
age, soil, etc., have made slow 
going. Sent small orders to near- 
by nurseries to test handling of 
orders. Found that Kelly Broth- 
| ers gave my small orders every 
care—shipped promptly on dates 
Skaneateles, N. Y. 
| 
agreed upon, and sent me splen- 
did stock. All of this has pleased 
me very much and I will make 
every effort to tell friends of 
your good service. 
Very truly yours, 
Mrs. Harold W. Slauson 
PURPLE FRINGE 
or Smoke Tree 
A tree much admired for its curious fringe 
or hairlike flowers that cover the whole sur- 
| face of the plant in midsummer. It creates 
an effect of mystic clouds entirely covering 
the plant. Handsome foliage adds its share 
of beauty to the plant. Likes plenty of sun- 
shine and light, well drained soil. Grows to 
a height of 10 to 12 feet, and its spreading 
habit requires considerable space. Especially 
desirable as a specimen tree. 2-3 ft., $1.50 
| each.

each,
