For Shade and Beauty 
“No place is complete without trees. A home without trees is charmless; 
a road without trees is shadeless; a park without trees is purposeless; 
a country without trees is hopeless.” 
Lerington, Kentucky 
HEN hot summer sun beats down, you long for the welcome shade of a Maple, an 
Oak, or a broad-petaled 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 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 trans- 
planted 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
