York Central. The nursery is eleven miles 
north of Briarcliff, eight miles east of Peekskill 
and is on the state road to Lake Mahopac. 
The Putnam railroad connects with the New 
York Central at High Bridge and with the Sixth 
and Ninth avenue elevated roads at One Hun- 
dred and Fifty-fifth street. 
The nursery consists of 249 acres, which are 
entirely devoted to the development of the 
200,000 specimen trees imported in 1906 and 
1907 by the late Major Orlando J. Smith. These 
trees were collected in England, Holland and 
France, and are the finest importation of trees 
ever made into this country.
