HLKL is a hcufo oi icverc and syrnmeincal design, placed la a vviideiiiess oi: tall, baie-uuiiked iciest 

 triees. It needed such a symmetrical, formal planting as is usually seen in France with houses of 

 this design. We offered these trees, and planted a double row on either side of the entrance drive. 

 TTiey were thirty years old, about 25 feet high and as wid^ and were trimmed to a symmetrical form. One 

 hundred large trees were planted ten years ago. 



Although the haul was over fifteen miles, by using several tree movers, from two to three trees a- day 

 were delivered.

THIS formal avenue leads to the stable from the right of the above picture. 'The uniform and luxu- 

 riant growth results in rich, dark foliage and deep shadows, which is essential to the character of the 

 place. 



If large-tree moving resulted in thin, skimped trees, or confronted the owner with a gradual failure, 

 our methods would not be repeatedly employed on estates where everything must be of the best.
