The Westbury Nurseries' 



TERMS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. 



IrOCAXIOX.— Our Xiirseries are located on the Jericho Turnpike, and may be easily reached ' 

 over good roads (see map). They are one mile north of Westbury Station, L. I. R. R., where public hacks 

 are found. 



TKSXIXG.— Xlie extensive test orcliards, started 60 years ago, have been of great value 

 to Long Island planters. Hundreds of varieties of Apple, Pear, Peach, Plum, Cherry, and other fruit have been 

 carefully tried arid worthy kinds recommended. Similar tests have been made of shade trees and shrubs^ 

 Recent additions, too extensive to be catalogued, have been made of rare species and varieties of hardy trees, 

 shrubs and vines, which are now under trial in our Arboretum and Nursery-blocks. 



ADVAXXAOjES.— The advantages of our Nursery to Long Island and other planters are that trees 

 are grown in rich loam soil, wide apart, frequently cultivated, annually manured or fertilized, skillfully pruned 

 and trained, carefully dug by fork and spade, all of which insures vigorous constitution and ample root system. 



Being: centrally located, even trees of large size are quickly delivered by wagon to distant 

 places, as. Far Rockaway, Brooklyn, Great Neck, Northport or Islip, and to more distant points by railroad. 

 Evergreens may thus be planted the same day as dug. 



Our location, methods of cultivation, and the absence of traveling agents are the factors of econom- 

 ical production and selling. 



Our trees are largrer ana liave toetter roots tlian tliose usually sold. They 

 live and grow better than smaller trees, which is contrary to a frequent opinion based on poor-rooted, close- 

 grown stock, which struggles unsuccessfully for existence against drought, decay and insects. 



Xlie success of a tree depends upon the roots, the food and water which it receives, the reserve 

 food at the buds and the health of the leaves. 



BUSINESS XER.MS.— Xerms Net Cash. P. O. Money Order may be secured for Westbury 

 Station, Queens county, New York. New customers should send list of wants to be priced, and are then 

 requested to remit cash with order or send references with order. 



We desire that all our patrons shall be fully satisfied, and if the varieties are not true to name and they are 

 disappointed in any way, we wish to be informed of the fact, and allowed to do justice to them and ourselves. ' 

 Our responsibility is limited by the price of stock. ^ 



We do not Sfuarantee the living of trees, as the want of proper protection before and while plant- 

 ing, or the damage ensuing from drought and drying winds, often destroys a tree full of vigor. 



Prices are usually for trees dug and loaded at the Nursery. A moderate charge is made for delivery. 

 Packing in bales or boxes is charged at cost. Packages are delivered free to the railroad, where our 

 responsibility ceases. 



Substitution.— Late in the season we are occasionally out of some varieties of Peaches, Grapes, etc., 

 and take the privilege of substituting other varieties of similar seaon and quality. If this is not desired, mark 

 on the order, " No Substitution."
