Large trees moved to the lawn of Mr. Edmund Wetmore, Glen Cove, in 1893, demonstrating the fine growth 

 of the trees. Sugar Maple on the right, small-leaf European Linden in the center, and Japanese Poplar on

Deciduous Trees 



ornamental shade trees that we recommend for their landscape value as fine 

 lawn specimens and avenue trees are the Beech, Catalpa, Elm, Linden, Liquidam- 

 bar, Maple, Oak, Poplar and Tulip. Most of these are available to our patrons in 

 sizes ranging from the ordinary nursery tree of 6 to 14 feet, to specimens up to 

 40 feet or more in height and 30 feet spread of branches. 



Having the advantage of soil that causes a tree to produce a compact mass of 

 fibrous roots and giving them special culture, the large trees we offer are in per- 

 fect condition for successful transplanting. 



We invite a personal inspection of our blocks of large trees, especially during the summer, to 

 make selections that will be reserved till the planting season. 



For extensive street planting we call attention to the Norway and Silver Maples 

 In the following pages it is our aim to so describe the different trees that the purchaser may 

 readily decide upon the best trees for his purpose, considering climate, fertility and moisture of the 

 soil, and exposure. 



The system of nomenclature is to give the common or English name whenever that is best 

 known, followed by the Latin or botanical name as given in the Cyclopedia of American Horticul- 

 ture, and such botanical synonyms as have been in recent use. 



We have developed a method of producing numerous fine flexible feeding-roots close to the stem, 

 and a method of digging and carrying which preserves them. For shipment by rail we offer trees 

 thus prepared, up to 35 feet high, loaded on open cars and boxed over. 



Price, 50 cts. to $1 each, and upward. Trees cf extra size and quality, $1 to $3 each, and upward. 

 Quick-growing trees, such as Silver Maple, Catalpa and Poplar, 20 to 50 cts. each. Prices are subject to 

 change according to quality, size and quantity.
