Brother, can our Multiflora take it!

If you live in the Midwest, you know how we sizzled.in the summer just past.
Fry would be the better word for it. New all-time high recordings were estab—
lished by the 118 year old St. Louis Weather Bureau. Our thermometers here
reached 116° and topped 110° repeatedly.

Now, this wasn't fun. Tender plants (and many we thought were tough) perished
right and left. But our Multiflora stands came through with flying colors.

Our plants stood the arctic test of 21° below zero several years ago and now
that they have taken this all-time high we are convinced of their superiority.
Another thing about these Sahara conditions: plant roots develop more abundantly
in search for water and grow more branched and stocky. Weaklings succumb. So
the plants we have to ship to you this fall are climate—tested beauties. ia

And fall is such a wonderful time to plant Multiflora living fences. You gain
a half-year's growth over spring planting as roots are never dormant and will

grow whenever the soil temperature is a few degrees above freezing. Planting

conditions are usually better in the fall and one escapes the rush and mud of

Spring planting. Supply conditions are better in the fall too, as we sell out
early every spring.

The demand is particularly heavy on us this fall as so many nurseries had stand
failures. Yet, you will note, our prices remain the same as last season.

Remember, you can't afford less than the best in Multiflora fencing. Costs are

a fraction of that of any other type fencing (figure it for yourself) which means
you cannot risk planting questionable stock. We grow and ship more Multiflora to
more people over more of the country than any other grower. We got that way by
supplying the best plants.

Note our guarantee: We could not venture this kind of assurance if we were not
confident our plants would thrive for you.

SO whether you need a mile of fencing for your farm or 50 feet across your rear
yard, send in your order now. Orders will be accepted and shipped in rotation,
within planting zones. Use handy order envelope enclosed.

Don't hesitate to use your credit, if you wish. We are always happy to ship pay-
able 30 days after shipment if you have established credit with us or if you
provide credit references.

Cordially yours,

Ob ae
