The Pure Fountain Nurseries, the
father nursery of Tennessee, one of the
Oldest and largest in this state and es
tablished just at the close of the late
civil war, has never been represented in
Greene. and Washington counties by
any one until few weeks back. 1t il
now being represented by four different
men of whom are interested in this nur
sery, and only want the patronage O
the leading farmers of Greene ant
Washington counties to introduce theil
fruit to men who will give them fail
test for the fruit to have justice.
This is the first nursery company
that has sold the Seeding Root Tree il
Greene and Washington counties foI
the last 25 years.
The Pure Fountain Nursery Compan,
furnishes trees that will live to be from
so to 100 years of age. Why? Becaus
the trees have all the Seeding root tina
nature gives them, like the old fashion
ed trees that came from the seed, tn
only tree for any farmer to set out. /
matters not what county or state yol
are in, if your trees fail TO have th
Seeding tap roots, you will never hav
an orchard that will give you any serv
ice. Farmers, you have been getting
Piece Root Tree for 25 years, and thi
is why you haven't any more fruit
Your limbs die one limb at q time an
on until they are perfectly dead. jus
about the time you expect to have frui
the leaves turn yellow and the fruit fall
before it natures and it is only matte
of time until your tree is dead, an
sometimes with fruit on the tree. Why
Because your trees haven't got snff
cient roots to support the tree and mt
ture its fruit, and it kills it to bear. Th
tree blooms too early in the spring, b'
cause the roots are side roots and gro
so near the surface that the zap rise
too soon and the fruit is killed thre
years out of five in bloom! This is VIII
you are not having any fruit like 20
once did. Your trees don't have an
tap roots aud are easy blown over, b.
cause they are grated in only one-tent
part of the seeding root. The averae
life of such trees is only six years, an
the Seeding tree lives to be from so
100 years of age. The Pure Fountai
Nursery Co, of Middle Tennessee
your home state nursery, will furnis
you the longlifed whole Seedlings Ro,
Tree that has tap roots like forest trt
and will he from ten days to two weel
later in blooming than the trees yc
now have, because the roots are
, much deeper in the ground than yol
Piece Root Trees, it takes the sap lon
er to rise, so that the trees can bloou
| aud then the late cold snaps fail to g
/ your seeding root trees in bloor
!, Farmers, We advise you to never s
out piece root tree if it is given yo
for they cant live without the seedlil
