WESTBURY, LONG ISLAND 



7 



Norway Maple. The owner has planted 10 big trees on his own lawn and several more around houses he 

 has built to sell. Sixteen of his neighbors have planted shade trees that saved them 10 to 20 years and they 

 are all enthusiastic over their investment. These large trees have lifted the town of Plandome out of the 

 commonplace — a lot of box-like houses on bare ground. They have helped to make it immediately attractive. 

 If 16 out of 50 owners in this town have planted large trees, you may conclude that it is the right thing to do.

MAPLE, Norway. Acer platanoides. 



Good Norway Maples have been a specialty through the past 50 years. They 

 like the soil and climate. One experienced tree buyer said "The finest lot I have seen. 

 How do you get them so straight?" We have trained them to a single leader and 

 the trees which are not straight are cut out. The tops are round and symmetrical 

 with the lower branches the right height for street trees as required by the shade tree 

 commissions. The roots are just right. We dig them just right. The trees not only 

 grow, but grow vigorously. These are grown to make Long Island beautiful, and 

 real estate subdivisions can do nothing better than plant some of its streets with 

 these fine trees and spend 25 cents a year mulching them with grass, and dig it in each 

 year. It will do more than any other investment to lift the property_out of the 

 common place and help sell the lots. 



Village improvement societies and others cannot do better than consider these 

 trees. We will be glad to look over the neighborhood and suggest trees to fit the 

 various soils. Norway Maples are a good all around tree, keeping good foliage, 

 every year coming out early and holding late. They will thrive where the Elms 

 do not, but soils where Elms do thrive you had best consider them for the sake of 

 variety and greater beauty. On similar soils you can consider Swamp White Oak 

 which will economically give the effect of the noblest American tree, White Oak. 

 On higher soils you can consider the Red Oak. On gravelly subsoil the Black Oak. 

 For stately avenues Lindens will be a source of pride for their beautiful ovate outlines 

 and healthy foliage. Quantity Each Per 10 Per 100
