WINDBREAK AND SCREEN PLANTING AT WESTEURY NURSERIES 



Evergreens for Winter Comfort 



Evergreens are often considered as expensive, isolated ornaments for 

 the lawn. There is a work they will do if planted in quantity. Plant 

 them as windbreaks, shelter belts, screens, for ornament, and increase the 

 beauty, comfort and value of your property. Reforest your barren lands 

 and make them profitable. The foresight and skill of the WESTBURY 

 NURSERIES make this possible. We have evergreens by the 100,000 

 grown on Long Island, from Long Island seed, to fit Long Island conditions. 



Send for price list of transplanted and seedling evergreens — the white, 

 Austrian, Scotch and densiflora pines, the spruces, at low rates in quantity. 

 Order now for Spring planting. 



Cedars, pines, firs, spruces, 15 to 45 feet high. 400 feet of old sheared 

 Hemlock hedge, 8 by 8 feet, moved at any season by the HICKS' TREE- 

 MOVERS, built for various types of tree and soil.
