Evergreen Trees 



RLD CZ.DAR, continued 



With machinery of our invention we have moved many hundred Cedars from 15 to 38 feet high ; 

 some of them the picturesque broad-topped ones occasionally seen on the beach. 



A solid screen may be made 

 with Cedars 30 to 40 feet high, 

 with bare trunks, and in front of 

 them Cedars 10 feet high, making 

 a nearly vertical wall. To com- 

 bine with the Cedars in broader 

 groups, we offer prepared trees 

 up to the following sizes : Pines 

 35 feet, Spruce 30 feet, Fir 16 feet, 

 etc. These, with smaller trees 

 and shrubs, as Holly, Rhododen- 

 dron and Laurel, 4 to 8 feet, will 

 form beautiful plantations, here- 

 tofore believed impossible, except 

 by waiting 25 years. In the lee 

 of such a group, many plants will 

 grow which otherwise would die 

 from wind and cold. 



For Italian gardens Cedars 

 may be used to form long vistas 

 of dark spires, closely resembling 



Screen to gymnasium formed of Cedars, moved on the Hicks Evergreen Mover, 

 for Mr. Stanley Mortimer, Roslyn. We have moved similar trees up to 30 ana 



35 feet high, for screens, shelter-belts and architectural uses in forming a mass 

 of foliage for background and for support for the house where the ground slopes 

 off suddenly. We have moved century-old Cedars, 38 feet high and 30 feet broad. 



the Cypress of Italy. In formal 

 .gardens of the English style, it 

 may be used instead of the Irish 

 yew and the bay tree- 



We have moved large Cedars for screens to laundry yard, service court, stable, sidewalk, adja- 

 cent residences, windmill and water tank ; and windbreaks to lawn, garden and house, besides the 

 uses mentioned above. 



For reforesting sterile hills, sand dunes or bluffs, and mixing with other trees for shelter, we 

 offer small Cedars by the thousand. The Red Cedar has several new varieties. 



Blue. Juniperus Virginiana, var. glauca. The foliage is nearly as blue as that of the Retinospora 

 squarrosa and the Colorado Blue Spruce. Occasionally wild ones are found of this color, that should 

 be selected for transplanting. 



Golden. /. Virginiana, var. laureo-variegata. Foliage tipped with bright yellow. Less brilliant than 

 the Retinospora plumosa aurea, but the tree is hardier. 



Tripartita. J. Virginiana, var. tripartita. For Japanese effects 

 this is unequaled. It is a low dark green bush with thick stubby 

 foliage and deep shadows. The branches spread and sprawl 

 like the Chiba-Hibo, which the Japanese gardeners train and 

 dwarf for generations. 



CXDAR. Cedrus 



This genus contains the no- 

 blest trees of the old world, 

 and includes some of the most 

 picturesque of the evergreens. 

 They are worthy the protection 

 while young, and the shelter of 

 other trees which they require. 



Cedar of Lebanon. C. Libani. 

 Crusaders brought it to Eng- 

 land, where the larger estates 

 boast their venerable speci- 

 mens, exceeding in breadth 

 and massiveness all other 

 evergreens. At the Manhasset 

 Dutch Church there is a tree 



brought from Palestine, and 



Large, broad-spreading Red Cedar. In the background is a grove of large Eng- f i ^iH^ct r>r> i'n Am^ri^a ic 

 lish Beech, Spruce and Linden. By the house are a Weeping Maple and an old Box- m T ^ m< 



wood 14 feet high. All moved for Mr. Talbot J. Taylor, Cedarhurst, L. I. a majestic tree on Long Island.
