The largest trees for sale are transplants 8-14 inches in height. 

 WE HAVE NO LARGER TREES. 



Evergreens usually are of the following height, but we do not 

 guarantee the size. 



4 year old transplants are from 8-14 inches high. 

 3 year old transplants are from 6-10 inches high. 

 2 year old seedlings are from 3-6 inches high. 



Hardwoods are usually sold as seedlings and average about one 

 foot in height. 



Willow and poplar are sold in the form of cuttings about 9 inches 

 long. 



Parties intending to do a large amount of planting with trans- 

 plants will find it desirable to purchase seedlings and set them out 

 in a cultivated field or garden for one or two years. The demand for 

 transplants (seedlings transplanted for one or two years in the 

 nursery) is so great that we are unable to fill all orders, but by 

 purchasing seedlings and transplanting them at home a planter can 

 have a supply when desired without increased expense. A large 

 saving in transportation will be effected by purchase of seedlings. 



If any one desires to establish a nursery to propagate his own 

 trees we will be glad to advise him.* The growing of evergreens, 

 especially the first year, requires experience and is not to be gen- 

 erally recommended if seedlings can be purchased at a reasonable 

 price. 



[WHEN AND HOW TREES ARE SHIPPED, 



The greater portion of our stock is shipped during the latter part 

 of April or the first week in May, for the purposes of spring planting. 

 In case fall planting is to be done, shipments will be made during 

 September. 



Our nurseries are located at Salamanca, Saratoga, Saranac Inn 

 and Comstock. Shipments as far as possible will be made from 

 the nursery nearest to destination. 



On account of the danger due to the drying of roots and heating 

 of the trees during shipment, express has been found to be the only 

 feasible method of transportation, except on local orders. ^
