(teen Kidge Nursery 
You can be your own nurseryman, grow your own land- 
scape specimens. It is easier than you might think and it 
saves considerable money. An inexpensive junior size plant 
can be grown into a valuable specimen in just a few years. 
Our nursery is located on a sandy ridge about three miles 
from Lake Erie. The sandy soil produces large fibrous root 
systems and the plants are toughened by Lake Erie weather— 
they have to be hardy. 
Each of our plants is properly sprayed for health and 
sheared for shape as it grows. Frequent transplantings pro-

procedures do the rest to produce baby plants that are second 
to none.

FALL PLANTING allows your plants to get the best possible head start 
next spring. All plants offered in this list are suitable for fall planting and 
should be planted early in the fall rather than late so that root growth may 
take place before freezing weather sets in. 
Plant firmly in properly prepared soil and keep moist until freeze-up. 
Most parts of the country have a rainy fall season but if rain does not occur 
you should water the plants yourself. 
A mulch is advisable, especially for smaller plants, to prevent the alter- 
nate thawing and freezing from heaving the roots out of the ground. Straw, 
peat moss, ground corn cobs, or any handy material may be used. 
Tall plants that are planted in windy places should be staked to prevent 
wind whipping. Drive a stout stake into the soil about 4 inches from the 
trunk and tie the top firmly but not tightly to the stake with cloth strips or 
heavy soft cord. Wire or thin cord will cut. Stake may be removed after 
growth starts in spring.
