We will see that they arrive at proper time for planting. 



When you buy Rosedale trees you may be sure that they will grow. 

 The photo-engraving at the right shows a young tree that had been 

 transplanted but once. As is usual, in digging, nearly all the roots 

 were cut off at the proper distance. One root was left intact to show 

 how far away the fibrous roots are if a tree has not been transplanted 

 a sufficient number of times. If you have been buying trees with roots 

 like this and waited two or three years for them to make new roots 

 (and in the meantime lost a good percentage of them) try some of our 

 oft-transplanted trees and you will say that they are well worth the 

 difference in price. 



Trees are often balled and burlapped. This is well; but if there 

 are few roots in the baU, the tree may utterly fail just the same. 



In contrast with the preceding cut notice the roots shown in one of our 

 small Norway Maples at the left, caliper i\ inch. One not familiar 

 with the effect of transplanting could scarcely realize the fact that 

 by this means practically all of the roots of this tree are preserved in- 

 tact. The number of these fibrous, or feeding roots is greatly mul- 

 tiplied every time a tree is transplanted. This same effect is 

 produced in all kinds of trees and shrubs. By some, frequent transplanting is thought necessary only in the case of ever- 

 greens, but it is just as important in deciduous trees and shrubs. Even our cheapest trees like the Catalpa, Ash, Poplars, and 

 Birches are provided with plenty of good roots to insure their growth from the start. In addition to the ordinary sizes we offer 

 many varieties of trees and shrubs in large sizes for immediate effect and at moderate cost. 



Other Reasons Why Our Stock is Unsurpassed 



1st. Our soil is adapted to the making of many fibrous roots. 

 A tree is no better than its roots. 



2d. Great care is given to pruning and shaping the tops. 



3d. Constant care is given by our own expert a Cornell man to 

 the prevention of insect pests. A certificate of the State Ento- 

 mologist is sent with each shipment. 



Rosedale Booklet describes and prices our full line of 

 hardy products including dwarf and standard Fruit, Irish 

 Roses, Flowering Shrubs, Vines, and Trees. 



Tarrytown, N. Y. 



All our large trees have masses of fibrous roots similar to this small 

 maple and the evergreens are balled and burlapped. 



A Word About Prices 



Stock with such roots as we produce has double the value of such 

 stock as shown in the engraving at the right. And our prices are 

 very low when you consider the extra value. Moreover we make no 

 extra charge for boxing and packing. When you read the prices in 

 our catalogue you know just what the stock is going to cost you. 

 Special prices on orders of $100 or more.
