PRICES FOR TREES 



THE yearly output of the Amawalk Nursery is about 10,000 specimen trees. 

 To produce this number there are over 300,000 trees growing at the 

 Nursery. As none but specimen trees are sold, the price per tree is the 

 same, regardless of the quantity ordered. 



Great care is taken each year in the selection of the young trees that are 

 imported from Europe. Only those kinds of trees are grown that have proved 

 to be perfectly hardy in the severe climate north of New York City. By giving 

 each tree ample space in which to develop, and by careful pruning and frequent 

 transplanting, and by eliminating all trees that are not hardy or that are im- 

 perfect in any particular, it is possible to offer trees that will immediately give 

 entire satisfaction and that will develop rapidly year by year. 



The preliminary care of the ground before the young trees are planted is 

 extremely important. At the Amawalk Nursery the ground is thoroughly 

 prepared by deep plowing and fertilization, and after the trees are planted they 

 are constantly cultivated from the first of May to the first of September. This 

 stirring up of the ground not only prevents the growth of weeds, but greatly 

 increases the activity of the young roots. 



In the following pages the Deciduous trees are listed first, from Page 46 

 to Page 51, and then the Conifers, from Page 52 to the end.
