Highest Quality of Trees 



A tree is no better than its roots. Trees, like horses, are of 

 little value with poor feet, no matter how fine the appearance. 

 A horse may be fair, fat and foxy, but will be worth little unless 

 he can go. In buying one should consider three 



Important Requisites of a Tree 



1st. That they are free from disease and insect pests. 

 2nd. That they have been trained to shapely tops. 

 3rd. That the roots are many and fibrous, as it is the 

 fine fibers which take in the nourishment from the soil. 



The number of these fibers is greatly multiplied every time a tree is 

 transplanted. Now, if a tree is planted in the nursery row and left for a 

 number of years without transplanting, the top may look well, but the fine 

 feeding roots will be at the end of the root system, several feet away, and 

 will be left in the ground when the tree is dug for sale; whereas, if the tree 

 were transplanted at the proper time, not only most of the roots would be 

 saved, but many new fibers would be produced by the time the tree was 

 ready for sale. Trees are often balled and burlapped. This is well; but 

 if there are few roots in the ball, the tree may utterly fail just the same.
