We have planted thousands oi Cedars for hedges like this. While they may be individually imperfect, the trees 

 soon fill out to the required form. It is a low-cost hedge for the height because trees 10 to 18 feet high are narrow 

 and have balls of earth of lighter weight than broader trees of the same height. Is it not wise to use the material 

 of the country in this way? 



OLLECTED Hemlock trees 4 to 15 feet 

 high we have shipped into the nursery. There 

 are five carloads of them. In the fields there 

 are several carloads which will be ready in 

 August, 1910. They are up to 20 feet high, 

 root-pruned and the tops sheared. We know of no other 

 supply on the market. They are bushy, dense plants, with 

 good roots, growing in open, windswept pastures. This is 

 an advance in the supply of landscape material worthy of 

 the attention of Landscape Architects and planters who 

 appreciate the good qualities of the Hemlock and the 

 difficulties we have overcome in making them available. 



White Spruce trees we have also root-pruned in the 

 pastures, and can ship out twenty-five carloads 8: to 18 

 feet high. It is the best pointed-top evergreen of the Spruces 

 and Firs for extensive planting on Long Island and north- 

 ward. Salt spray and tearing winds only improve it, making , Hemlock from the collecting field, show-
