Evergreen Trees (Conifers) 



Several years ago we decided that Long Island needed evergreens to make it a more ideal residence region. 

 The usual method of importing small evergreens for immediate sale or to grow on, is expensive and ultimately 

 unsatisfactory, because many of the varieties are not permanently successful. 



Therefore, we collected seed from Long Island trees and grew trees in large quantities so that \ve could offer 

 them at low prices. We believe there is no other opportunity in the eastern I nited Stales to purchase evergreens 

 so cheaply. Of the large sizes, 6 to 30 feet high, we have several thousand. These are root-pruned and ready for 

 delivery at any time of the year. These trees give immediate, all-t lie-year-round service, and are priced as low 

 as is consistent with the expense of handling such heavy trees. 



We have invented methods for successfully clamping large balls of earth of several tons weight and holding 

 them securely until panted. For illustrations showing this stock, and the results attained by planting it. send 

 for our Catalogue, "Large Evergreens for Immediate Planting." Prices in the latter are superseded by the prices 

 in this list. 



The cheapest way to get large evergreens in large quantities is in car-load lots direct from the collecting fields. 

 We have over fifty car-loads of White Pine, White Spruce and Red Pine, root-pruned, ready for shipment in 

 August, 1909. These trees arc from 8 to 22 feet in height. They are broad, bushy specimens, which will give 

 immediate results for ornament, windbreak or screen. Samples of these trees may be seen at our nurseries, and 

 photographs of them will be sent upon application. These large, collected trees are cheap because the only expense- 

 is that of collecting them. There is practically no expense for the many years they have- been growing. 



BALL OF EARTH. All of our evergreens are dug with a ball of earth except the small sixes, as the Pines and 

 Spruces up to 1^ or 2 feet. Therefore, in comparing prices, please remember that our evergreens have more than 

 twice as much roots as the average, and that failure is very rare with them. They make vigorous, dense growth
