 For Nursery Planting. 



YOUNG DECIDUOUS TREES. 



There is great economy and advantage in procuring yonng trees for planting in nursery rows ; 

 and this plan is now being adopted in many of the leading parks, public institutions and private 

 estates. 



This small stock with ordinary treatment about doubles in value every year, besides the advan- 

 tage of having the material at hand as required during the planting season. 



From 4,000 to 6,000 trees can be advantageously planted per acre with rows 4 to 6 feet apart. 



The stock noted below is all nursery grown, once or twice transplanted, and can therefore be put 

 out with very little, if any loss, and but little expense or labor in keeiaing trees in vigorous growth 

 and condition. 



The best sizes of deciduous trees for nursery planting are 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and 4 to 6 feet. 



The following are the varieties recommended and can be furnished at $50.00, $75.00 and $100.00 

 per thousand, according to size and variety. These very low prices are intended to make induce- 

 ments for liberal purchases.

 to 2 to 3 ft. at very low prices.
