improved by their presence, and no spot, however refined, to which 

 they may not contribute a fresh grace. 



The utility of trees is not altogether confined to their value as articles 

 of commerce. The massive foliage of the Maples, Tulip Poplars, and 

 Lindens, appeal to our senses in the cool, inviting shade which they 

 afford, and the persistent dense verdure of the Pines, Firs, and Spruces, 

 shelter us from the rude blasts of winter. Those who have never seen 

 a properly laid out and planted Park, can form but a faint idea of 

 how much beauty and interest can be imparted by an artist ; and no 

 person who has a proper appreciation of the simplest rules of economy, 

 should attempt planting the most limited pleasure grounds, without 

 consulting or securing the assistance of some person of acknowledged 

 competence in these matters. 



The artistic and at the same time economic arrangement of trees, is 

 a subject requiring refined taste, as well as large experience. We 

 would advise all who may be about improving their grounds, to consult 

 with Mr. William Saunders, of Germantown, Pa., whose taste and 

 judgment in rural improvements, have been frequently acknowledged 

 by all who have availed themselves of his advice.
