HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 



Our suggestion for large suburban or city planting. Twelve Evergreens, 

 Hemlocks, Spruces, Arborvitaes, Firs, and Junipers, mixed, large specimens; 

 six shade trees, in large sizes; 50 yards of Hemlock hedge and 50 yards of 

 Privet hedge should be on the average grounds of a quarter acre or less. 

 The entire lot, in large sizes so as to give immediate effect, would cost $45 

 to $75- If you think of this class of planting, it will pay you to write us, 

 or come to Berlin. 



Other considerations that must be watched are 

 the size of your grounds, whether the planting is 

 entirely new, or supplements trees already there, 

 the kind of buildings you have, and whether you 

 are located in country or town. For instance, in 

 a little yard, except for protection, plant small 

 trees; while in a large space use big trees; or again, 

 for the small place, the Norway and other Maples 

 are the best small or medium-sized shade trees, 

 but the Elm is large and suited only for filling big 

 spaces. Among evergreens, Junipers and Arbor- 

 vitaes are small; White Pines and Douglas Fir are 

 large. The descriptions of the different trees will 

 enable you to choose the ones that best suit. These 

 suggestions are meant to explain the how and why 

 to you. Use your judgment after you have con- 

 sidered all the conditions to be met. 



Sometimes you want results quickly, and again 

 you may be willing for the sake of finer ultimate 

 results to wait six or eight years. As an instance 

 of choosing between different trees on this basis, 

 you would take Silver Maple for the fast grower, 

 and Norway for the finer tree; or in the case of an 

 evergreen hedge, Norway Spruce for quickest
