 in diameter, 25-40 ft. high, 16-25 ft. wide, 30 years old, and priced the same as the 

 Norway Maples. 



ACER dasycarpum (saccharinum) . Silver Maple. The biggest tree for the in- 

 vestment. They have been carefully grown, having tall, straight trunks; graceful, 

 Elm-like tops. The best tree for you to consider for height. Trees, 14-16 in. in

LINDENS 



The Lindens typify the highest development of natural beauty, with graceful, 

 elliptical outlines. A test of all available Lindens show the Silver-leaved and the 

 Small-leaved varieties as best for this region. They are not liable to turn yellow in Au- 

 gust and September as many other varieties do in this soil. This careful selecticn and 

 long years of skillful culture make available for you trees that we believe have never 

 before been equaled. It is best for you to come and select them. You will then re- 

 alize both their beauty and value. Another point about these Lindens is that they 

 keep green for two or three weeks after frost, prolonging the beauty of Summer.

PIN OAKS 



QUERCUS palustris. Pin Oak. Perhaps you have not thought of Oaks 20-40 ft. 

 high being available. Here you will find dozens of them. The best way may be to 

 plant them as Nature does in groups and groves, mingling trees of various sizes, no 

 one will then know when the place was started. The dignity and strength of old 

 Oaks will then not be something to envy, but to possess. Oak and Pine are what 

 Nature used to forest Long Island. We took that lesson and make them available for 

 you and cut out the wait. Let your enthusiasm for Oaks and Pines revel in develop- 

 ing your place. We have besides the Pin Oaks sturdy Red Oak, Black Oak, vivid 

 scarlet Oak and sturdy White Oak which even as a young tree shows the character of 

 its maturity. Six-inch trees are 16 years old, 14-inch trees are 40 years old.

 For delivery and planting on these large trees estimate will be given. It is cheaper 

 if several trees are taken and if the holes are dug and help given by men on the place. 



Winter planting is successful. In December the ground is rarely frozen enough 

 to interfere and mulching the tree and site makes planting practical all Winter. 

 Call before Nov. IS and get special offers for trees for late Fall and Winter planting.
