CITY GARDEN MATERIAL. We offer plants 
with large balls of earth that will give the best 
and most permanent results. For urns and tubs 
for city winter decoration, a single broad speci- 
men with large root mass has a better appear- 
ance than a crowded mixture of narrow ever- 
greens that soon lose their bright color and die. 
Arches growing in Westbury Nurseries. 
LARGE- SIZED RED CEDARS FOR HEDQES, ALLEYS, COLUMNS 
AND OTHER FORMAL EFFECTS 
The Red Cedar {Juniperus Virginiana) stands preeminently at the head of our native formal 
trees and adapts itself to all manner of formal treatments with easy readiness. Results may be obtained 
which heretofore were not believed possible, and which no other of our trees can produce so effectively. 
They make the most beautiful of formal evergreen hedges up to 20 feet in height. When cultivated and 
sheared they become solid, compact walls of excellent color and texture, forming a most beautiful back- 
ground for garden architecture and water features. For long evergreen alleys, vistas, and other fine and 
extended formal effects, they are an excellent material. It often grows individually in a tall, narrow 
column of solid green with a short trunk, taking the place of the classical Cypress of the Old World. 
These stately individual plants are imposing features in a large formal treatment. Smaller compact 
columns are effective at the lesser points of the design. We have in our nurseries several hundred Red 
Cedars 15 to 35 feet high, besides several thousand smaller ones, prepared, root-pruned and ready for 
delivery.
