AttentionThere are many hill sides in this

county that are not yielding a dividend-to the owners There are many littlespots around the gardens and yardsthat could be made profitable and or-

namental by judicious proceedings andin our judgment these various hillides could be made profitable by planing orchards of good substantial va

rieties of such fruits as are well knownare many spots around the gar¬

ens and yards that the pear wouldflourish The Knoxville Nursery Cooffers you the finest varietiesand thrifty trees at old prices We guaranteeeverything correct We refer to thebest citizens of Somerset as to ourstanding We ask your trade and willdo you right
