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 oI
the leading farmers of Greene anG
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 in
Greene and Washington counties fol
the last 25 years.
The Pure Fountain Nursery Company
furnishes trees that will live to be from
50 to 100 years Of age. Why? Because
the trees have all the Seeding root tina
nature gives them, like the old fashion
ed trees that came from the seed, th,
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 % years, and thi
is why you haven't any more fruit
Your limbs die one limb at time ant
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, AM
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. Th
tree blooms too early in the spring, be
cause the roots are side roots and grov
so near the surface, that the sap rise
too soon and the frnit is killed thre
years out Of five in bloom. This is VIII
you are not having any fruit like yo
once did. Your trees don't have an
tap roots and are easy blown over, bt
cause they are grated in only one.tent
part of the seeding root The averag
life of such trees is only six years, an
the seeding tree lives to be from so
100 years of age. 7 he Pure Fonntai
Nursery Co, of Middle Tennessee,
your home state nursery, will furnis
you the Ionglifed whole Seedlings Roc
Tree that has tap roots like forest tire
and will be from ten days to two weeE
4 IL. IL. Al
now have, because the roots are {
much deeper in the ground than yor
Piece Root Trees, it takes the sap lonl
er to rise, so that the trees can bloom
and then the late cold snaps fail to g
your Seeding root trees in bloom
Farmers, we advise you to never 81
5 ont piece root tree if it is given yoI
for they can't live without the seedliu
