And About 

 The Trees 

 We Grow 

 In Our 

 Nursery 



ARGE TREES. Ours differ in that they are from fifteen to forty years old, instead 

 of from three to eight. This difference is yours at a moderate cost. 



A few such trees at $25.00 each will cost but little more than ten times as 

 many of a smaller size, that are usually planted close together. Large trees can 

 be placed wide apart, giving immediate results. 

 An added advantage is, that with these trees you get not alone width but elevation as 

 well, which is much to be desired in the level sections, such as parts of Long Island where the 

 sky line is flat and monotonous. 



These large trees can be moved to your grounds successfully, because they are grown in 

 our loamy soil, which, by the aid of skilful root-pruning, produces a perfect network of fibrous, 

 nourishment-absorbing roots. We have learned how to save these roots when digging and how 

 to place them in your soil so they will spread out over a large area and support a splendid, 



full, wide top. 



The old idea that 

 these extra-size trees, 5 to 

 8 inches in diameter, were 

 soon overtaken by younger 

 trees 1 to 2 inches in di- 

 ameter, was based on the 

 fact that most nurserymen 

 had these larger trees as 

 left-over culls which had 

 been crowded and not re- 

 cently transplanted or root- 

 pruned. They were sold 

 at any low price to clear 

 the land, often for but little 

 more than it would take to
