our native trees, and the 
state tree of Indiana. 
Ta'l growing, of shapely 
habit, and its large ir- 
regular leaves make it 
ideal for quick shade. 
Bears numerous Tulip- 
like flowers in spring. 
Blooms are yellow, 
marked at inside of base 
with orange. 3- to 4-ft. 
trees, $1.50 each; 2 for 
$2.50.

CHINESE CHESTNUT 
QUICK GROWER, PRODUCING’ LARGE 
CROP OF NUTS EVEN WHEN TREE IS 
YOUNG. A FINE ORNAMENTAL SHADE 
TREE AS WELL. 
The new Chinese Chestnut received 
much favorable comment in a number 
of articles in national magazines last 
spring. Does well in all sections of the 
country except where alkali soils pre- 
vail. Hardy and productive. Gives you 
a beautiful ornamental shade tree as 
well as a profit producing crop. Ma- 
ture size is about that of an average 
Anple tree. Grow quickly and vigor- 
ously and begin to bear about the 
time they are four years old. Nuts 
vary in size with localities but easi- 
ly run as large as the extinct Ameri- 
can variety and in most cases they 
are larger. Any soil or location that 
will grow an Apple tree will grow 
gaod Chinese Chestnuts. Very long- 
lived and produce abundantly year 
after year. Plant two trees to insure 
pollination. We offer nice 2-year 
plants about 2 ft. high, which may 
be trimmed and grown as trees or 
allowed to grow as a heavy shrub. 
$1.25 each; 2 for $2.25.

specimens. Grows 8 feet high.

ONE OF THE MOST LOVED OF ALL TREES 
No other tree occupies quite the place 
in the hearts of home builders that this 
graceful tree does. Its white bark, pend- 
ulous branches, delicate green foliage, 
deeply cut leaves, endear it to all who 
want a tree both for shade and ornament. 
A beautiful effect is created by planting 
three of them as a triangle, about 20 
feet apart. Nice straight, 5- to 6-ft. 
trees, $3.50 each; 2 for $6.00.

Gentlemen: May 21, 1952 
This is to acknowledge receipt of my recent 
order and to thank you for your prompt atten- 
tion and shipment. The plants were received in 
good order and though it may be a bit late in the 
season in this locality, I feel sure they will do 
all right. You included two plants of some of 
which I only ordered one, and I thank you sin- 
cerely for your generosity. 
Thanking you again, most sincerely,
