The price of these 5- to 8-inch diameter Norway Maples at $15 to $38 is low, considering the fifteen to 
eighteen years it has taken to grow them, and the wide area given each tree — 225 square feet. They are low 
in price according to the cost of cultivating, manuring, pruning and transplanting them. They save eight to 
twelve years over the usual size — 1|- inches in diameter and 10 feet high. 
These trees are not the left-over culls from old blocks. That was the old system of growing extra-sized 
trees. Under those conditions, the trees were frequently crooked, with unsymmetrical tops and long, 
coarse roots. 
These trees have been especially grown to make transplanting successful. They have abundant fibrous 
roots which, by the methods of digging of our invention, are carefully preserved. Such trees grow vigorously 
from the start and the smaller trees do not quickly overtake them, — a statement formerly made to dis- 
courage planting large trees. Page 21 shows how they are grown. They are numbered specimens, pruned to 
exactly uniform sizes; that is, we can supply an avenue 20 feet in height, 10 feet in spread. These trees are 
often used by architects in formal plantings, to be trimmed to arch a walk. Results which in France would 
take ten years to produce, can be produced here immediately.

These Sycamore Maples are darker in foliage than the Norway, perfectly straight and symmetrical. 
They will make magnificent formal avenues and are excellent trees at the seaside for their thick, heavy 
foliage which withstands the salt spray. The prices are especially low for trees of this size and quality, as 
we wish to reduce our stock, the trees being in blocks which will crowd if they remain two years longer.

On pages 19 and 22 are shown the 5- and 8-inch sizes. These are grown 15 feet apart, as in an orchard, 
and have been pruned to symmetrical form. With the _ Catalpas, these Maples give the largest amount 
of shade for the cost, and save the most years of waiting. It is not the best tree for all purposes, but it 
is a good tree, and the stock we offer is in the best possible condition for vigorous growth. They are easily 
handled on our tree-movers, and the price to deliver and plant is low. Page 27 shows the result of plant- 
ing a tree 10 inches in diameter to shade a new house on a bare lot. 
For street planting on real estate subdivisions, trees 10 and 12 feet high are a good investment. They 
transplant readily and grow rapidly the first year, especially if the ground is mulched with 3 inches 
of manure.
