Plants in bands can be planted at your 
Convenience.

THEN DO YOUR PLANTING. 
When your nose was young, smells were “smellier,” 
colors were prettier, and girls were “for nothing” 
but to wash dishes. 
The nursery business didn’t amount to much, either. 
You had a couple of weeks of “planting season;” and

what you didn’t “get rid of,’ you hauled out to the 
burn pile. 
The bank was always nosey; and the bum at the 
Express Office wanted cash (no checks), before he’d 
let you have your box of apple seedlings. 
Landscaping was “high art,” and was for sharp 
characters around the cities. Oh, now and then some 
hefty dame with a “broad A” and a brass-trimmed 
job piloted by a colored boy in red, would roll in and 
want a flowering peach tree (which you had to 
“make” out of the Elberta bin); but taking it as a 
whole, to the average small town nurseryman “‘Orna- 
mental Evergreens” meant “Norway Spruces.” 
Today, fruit-tree growing is a job for specialists 
(who still grow them for peanuts); and the Orna- 
mental business IS the nursery business. 
Alert nurserymen have certainly figured out a lot of 
ways to extend the income season, but the rush is 
still confined to several weeks in the spring. Get 
every dollar you can out of your spring rush. Sell 
your stock as long as people will buy it. Then, after 
the spring business slows down, begin your own 
planting. 
Customers tell us that they have planted our plants 
in bands right up ’til the first of October. To do that
