TREES 



CORNUS Kousa. Japanese Dogwood. The last of May they are like a snowbank; in 

 Autumn the sweet, edible fruits are abundant. We first learned to admire it in the 

 Dana Arboretum, Glen Cove. Thanks to a large quantity from seeds of these trees 

 you are. now able to plant them in quantity and introduce a new and harmonious 

 element in the landscape. Plant a hundred in the woods or shrubbery.

 ing the Fall and Winter.

DOGWOOD. See Cornus. 

 ELM. See Ulmus. 



FAGUS americana. American Beech. You admire the Beech. You will be surprised 

 to find such fine ones available as was one of the oldest landscape architects, Mr. 

 Samuel Parsons, New York, when he said: "I did not know there were such fine 

 Beeches." You will resolve as did one of the youngest landscape architects, Mr. 

 Harold H. Blossom, Boston, who said: "Some day I will plant a grove of Beeches." 

 Like the Dogwood the American Beech prefers the shade of other trees. 



These Beeches have been recently transplanted and are moved with big balls of 

 earth. You can plant them all Winter.

Moving large trees can be carried on all Winter. Some Winters the ground 

 does not freeze over 6 inches deep and it is easy to break through the frost with a 

 heavy pickax. However, it is best to plan out the work before possible deep 

 freezing, that is, before the middle of December, mulch the ground with leaves, 

 straw, manure or salt hay to keep out the frost. We have a large force of highly 

 skilled men and foremen who will handle your trees to the best advantage. We 

 have developed many types of machinery for economically and safely handling 

 large shade trees up to 80 feet high and 60 feet broad and evergreens up to 50 feet 

 high and 35 feet broad. If you have trees which need to be moved or wish us to 

 supply you with large trees come to our office or arrange for an interview on 

 your grounds.
