It Costs No More in the End 

 to Plant BigTrees Like These 



HpHAT big maple, for instance, transplanted where you see it, cost about S40.00 four years or so ago, 

 *- and what a beautiful specimen it is! It gave the desired shade and seclusion to the house from the 

 first day it was set out. It would take ten years for the ordinary nursery tree at S2.00 to reach that size. 



The large pin-oak, at the left, shades the vest piazza, besides linking the house in a most effective 

 manner to the grounds. It was twenty-eight feet high when we transplanted it. 



Our nursery on Long Island is filled with just such splendidly developed trees which we can ship to 

 you, or transplant for you, whichever you prefer. 



Smaller trees we have too, but if you want immediate results come to our nursery and select large trees; 

 or order them direct from our catalog. In the catalog is a most interesting description of iust how we suc- 

 cessfully move the large trees. Send for the catalog.
