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 is
now being represented by four different
men of whom are interested in this nur-
sery, and only want the patronage of
the leading farmers of Greene and
Washington counties to introduce their
fruit to men who will give them fair
test for the fruit to have Justice.
This is the first nursery company
that has sold the Seeding Root Tree in
Greene and Washington counties for
the last 95 years.
The Pure Fountain Nursery Company
furnishes trees that will live to be from
SO to 100 years of age. Why? Because
the trees have all the Seeding root that
nature gives them, like the old fashion.

only tree for any farmer to set ont II
matters not what county or state you
are in, If your trees fail to have the
Seeding tap roots, you will never have
an orchard that will give you any serv-
ice. Farmers, you have been getting a
Piece Root Tree for 25 years, and this
is why you haven't any more fruit.
Your limbs die one limb at time and
on until they are perfectly dead. just
about the time You expect TO have fruit
the leaves turn yellow and the fruit falls
before it natures and it is only matter
of time until your tree is dead, and
sometimes with fruit on the tree. Why?
Because your trees haven't got suffi-
cient roots to support the tree and ma.
ture its fruit, and it kills it to bear. The
tree blooms too early in the spring, be-
cause the roots are side roots and grow
80 near the surface that the sap rises
too soon and the fruit is killed three
years out of five in bloom. This is why
you are not having any fruit like you
once did. Your trees don't have any
tap roots and are easy biown over, be-
cause they are grated in only one-tenth
part OF the Seeding root. The average
life of such trees is only nix years, and
the Seeding tree lives to be from so to
LOO years of age. The Pure Fountain
Nursery Co., of Middle Tennessee,
your home state nursery, will furnish
you the longlifed whole Seedlings Root
Tree that has tap roots like forest tree
and will be from ten days to two weeks
later in blooming than the trees you

much deeper in the ground than your
Piece Root Trees, it takes the sap long
or to rise, so that the trees can bloom,
and then the late cold snaps fail to gel
your Seeding root trees in bloom
Farmers, we advise you to never SCI
out piece root tree If it is given you
for they can't live without the Seeding
; tap root; so be sure to get the Seeding
Root Tree regardless of price; and re
member, gentlemen, there are only
three nurseries in Tennessee that Cal
furnish the longlife tree. If any maj
