HAS IT a sub-soil like glass marbles and glass door knobs with a few inches of 

 sandy loam top-soil? Is it on the borders of the pine barrens of Long Island 

 or New Jersey? Did the building operations leave sand from the cellar where you 

 want a group of trees? Do your friends tell you you cannot grow anything until 

 you bring in so many inches of top soil at so much per cubic yard? Do you begin 

 to think, ''it is all right to live in the country if you are rich"? We have the plants 

 that will make your place smile. Look on the nearest sand heap. Nature plants 

 Birch, Bayberry, Golden Rod or Grass. The first plant holds some passing leaves. 

 The squirrel plants an acorn for winter and forgets it. Perhaps the wind blows a 

 seed of Pitch Pine or a Robin drops a Cedar berry. You can do what Nature would 

 do, but do it first. You can plant trees i' high or io years old. You can mulch 

 them down with leaves, salt hay or sea weed. 



How do you go at this? The best way is to make a sketch or prepare a series of 

 photographs looking in various directions on your place, also make a plan to scale, 

 bring it to the nursery. 



Where you want a tall tree label some Pitch Pine. They will be dug with a big ball 

 of earth that assures successful growth of a tree considered difficult to transplant. 



Do you want a shady grove of trees that fit your sand? It may be the Black and Scarlet Oaks. 

 These you can label feeling sure they will always look well fed and happy, not wilt like a poplar drop- 

 ping its leaves in mid-summer. 



Do you want sweeps of color during the season? Tell us what colors you want and we will tell you 

 what Nature will let you have? Do you want a grove for yourself and the birds, something for every 

 month in the year? Tell us where you are and we will tell you what Nature grew for the Indians and 

 early settlers. As you pick blackberries do your friends boast of their Bartlett pears and do you wish 

 you had some? We have grown some apple and pears 6 years old rather than 2 years old so they will 

 save you time. September is the time to pick them out and plant them. Don't wait until the frost 

 kills the leaves but start early for the trees will make a quicker get-away next spring.
