NINE 



TREELESS drive is simply an uninteresting, unattractive 

 piece of engineering w^ork — there is none of the charm- 

 ing unexpected to meet. Such a drive was this twelve 

 years ago. The entire grounds were a bare, windswept 

 shore front, such as there is for miles along both ocean 

 and sound shores of Long Island. 



Now, as you come around the curve of the drive, the residence 

 is almost hidden from view by the two fine specimen Pin Oaks, which 

 were moved from an abandoned farm some eighteen miles away. At 

 that time all the skeptics declared "Oaks could not be moved," and 

 it was a good deal of a question until our repeated experiments proved 

 that, with proper skill and right machinery. Pin Oaks could be moved. 



The tree on the right is a large Norway Maple moved at the 

 same time. Residence of Mr. Robert L. Burton, Cedarhurst, L, L
