WHAT TREES TO PLANT ALONG 

 YOUR STREET 



All our shade trees are suitable for street plant- 

 ing. The requirements are that the foliage will 

 stand dust and heat without damage. We can 

 furnish trees at the lowest rates in just the right 

 sizes for this purpose. If you know what tree is 

 best for your city and your soil, you will find it 

 listed in our catalogue. If you wish our opinion, 

 tell us the width of your street the kind of soil 

 you have, and whether the location is damp or dry. 



THE GREAT GOOD OF EVERGREENS 

 ABOUT HOMES 



In some Instances It Is advisable to plant a few 

 evergreens among the deciduous trees. For 

 instance, evergreens furnish better fire-protection 

 than leaf-shedding trees. They also make better 

 windbreaks and protect from frost better. In 

 laying out a protection for a garden or orchard, 

 let us supply you with some of our Norway and 

 Blue Spruces, or our Pines. It nearly always is 

 desirable to plant at least two or three little speci- 

 men evergreens among the Maples and other trees 

 in a yard. Groups, clumps and belts are more 

 Interesting when they contain a few evergreens. 

 Birds like to nest In the foliage, and the dark green 

 is very handsome In winter. We have a splendid 

 stock of evergreens for this sort of planting, and 

 we want you to use our trees because the success 

 of your planting will be assured. 



WHERE AND WHEN TO PLANT 

 EVERGREEN HEDGES 



American Arborvitae, Hemlock, or Norway 

 Spruce make wonderful hedges when given 

 proper care. The little trees should be planted a 

 couple of feet apart, and for the first few years 

 severely trimmed. It requires only about four 

 years for them to grow to fairly large size. Ever- 

 green hedges always are much larger than Privet 

 hedges, and are not suitablefor small spaces. A Hem- 

 lock hedge is most beautiful. In its eighth year 

 it should be 8 feet broad and 6 to lo feet high. 

 Along drives and where an impenetrable screen 

 is wanted, and there is plenty of room, we advise 

 that you plant this sort of fence. It makes a very 

 stout barrier. No danger of any animal breaking 

 through it. It would stop a runaway automobile.
