UR  stock  of  Ornamental  Shade  Trees  is  as  complete  as  scientific 
and  practical  knowledge  combined  can  make  it.  The  trees  have 
been  grown  under  a  thorough,  clean  system  of  cultivation  and  fre- 
quently transplanted  to  insure  an  abundance  of  fibrous  roots. 
They  are  free  from  borers,  fine,  healthy  and  handsome.  Our  care- 
ful system  of  packing  protects  the  root -masses,  so  that  they  reach 
purchasers  fresh  and  uninjured.  Our  suggestions  on  unpacking 
and  the  protection  of  roots  before  planting,  given  on  pages  7,  8,  11,  14  and  i8,. 
will  be  of  value  to  inexperienced  planters. 
Large  specimen  trees  of  many  varieties  can  be  furnished  at  advanced  rates. 
We  have  many  superb  specimens  at  Glenwood  that  must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated. 
For  trees  in  large  quantities  special  quotations  will  be  furnished  on  appli- 
cation. Quotations  will  also  be  given  by  the  dozen,  100  and  1,000,  when  requested. 
Reduced  rates  made  to  land-improvement  companies,  or  other  enterprises  needing  a 
large  number  of  moderate -sized  trees. 
Deciduous  trees  may  be  transplanted  at  any  time  after  the  leaves  fall  in 
autumn  and  before  they  start  in  spring,  provided  the  ground  is  not  frozen.  The 
various  uses  to  which  the  different  sorts  of  trees  have  been  found  well  adapted  are 
given  in  our  list,  and  may  be  helpful  in  selecting  trees  for  any  particular  purpose. 
IMPORTANT  GROUPS 
Acer— The  Maples 
For  general  shade  and  ornamental  purposes  the  Maples  are,  perhaps,  more 
largely  planted  than  any  other  trees.  They  are  regular  in  outline,  beautiful  in  foli- 
age, vigorous  growers,  free  from  all  diseases  and  adapted  to  all  soils.  By  skilful 
pruning  and  culture  our  Maples  are  trained  into  straight,  stocky  trees,  not  easily 
injured  by  high  winds  or  the  ordinary  street  abuses.  The  Silver  Maple  is  the  most 
rapid -growing,  but  for  permanency  the  Sugar  and  Norway  are  usually  preferred.
