Block of Norway Maples in our nurseries. These trees are sixteen to twenty years old, 6 to 9 inches in diameter, 22 to 28 

 feet high, 10 to 15 feet spread of branches. We have 300 of them. They are in the best possible condition for making rapid 

 growth after transplanting. The tops have been pruned to make them broad and symmetrical. 



Instead of looking for large trees to be moved in from your vicinity, it may be cheaper and easier to plant two or three times 

 as many of these trees by planting several in a group instead of one large tree. 



Deciduous Trees 



HE term deciduous is applied to trees the leaves of which fall in autumn. 



To select trees, the first question is, what is the purpose the trees are to 

 serve? Shade for the house, path or avenue; landscape planting as single 

 specimens or in groups, screens for undesirable objects, etc.? Second, what 

 trees will suit the soil and climate for the best permanent results, — is the 

 soil damp or dry, sandy or loamy? Is the situation inland or exposed to salt 

 1 spray? If quick-growing trees are used, for which the soil is not damp 

 enough, which will be the least unsightly as they grow older? Third, 

 what kind of trees are available? What sizes of trees are wanted? Are 

 large trees needed? Will trees 20 years old, 25 feet high, 12 feet spread, at 

 ^50, answer the purpose, or are larger trees needed at two or three times as 

 much? Where can trees of the ordinary size, inches in diameter, 10 feet 

 high, at $2 be used? Where may little trees 2 feet high, at 10 cents, be 

 used? Fourth, how and when may they be planted and cared for to give 

 the best results? 



Deciduous trees are planted when the leaves are off, from September to 

 the middle of December or later, if the ground is not frozen deeply, and in 

 the spring as soon as the frost is gone, from March first to tenth, to May 

 first to tenth, when the foHage is out. 



The best way to settle these questions is to visit the nurseries, study the 

 different trees, and have your selections labeled. You can study the trees in all sizes and ages, and see hundreds of 

 acamples of successful transplanting of large trees. 



A spray of Andromeda buds 



ANDROMEDA - Sorrel Tree 



Arborea. As good as the Dogwood, it would be 

 nearly as popular if its flowers were as showy. They are 

 like the Lily-of -the- Valley and borne in July. We have 

 an unusually good stock of Andromeda, both in bush 

 form and as trees 10 feet high. 



Have you a border of shrubs to lift out of the common- 

 place, a shady place to brighten up, a place for a choice 

 little tree or big shrub? Then consider this charming tree.
