Deciduous, Ornament aL Flowering 
and Skade Trees 
We have a fine collection of trees growing in our Nurseries. We only keep in stock such kinds as possess 
distinctive decorative merit and are suitable for park, lawn, avenue and street plantings. 
Deciduous trees can be safely planted in Spring after the frost has left the ground and before new growth 
has appeared; and also in Autumn, when the foliage and wood are ripe, until the ground freezes in Winter. 
Proper preparation of the ground before planting is necessary. The soil should be enriched, if necessary, 
with well-decayed manure. The hole to be dug at least 2 feet wdder in diameter than the ball of roots, 
and the depth will be governed b}^ the nursery soil line as indicated on the stem of the tree. 
The roots should be spread out in the natural way, filling with fine soil and firmly pressing the soil 
down upon the roots; pour from one to three pails of water into the hole and let it settle well before planting, 
according to size of tree 
When you receive our trees they should be immediately unpacked and, if not yet ready for planting, 
heeled in, which means, make a trench, place trees in an upright position close together and cover thoroughly 
with fiine soil, pressing down firmly so as to prevent roots from drying out. 
Do not unpack trees in freezing weather. When trees arrive during severe weather place them in a 
cool place free from frost until perfectly thawed. 
If deciduous trees or shrubs are miscarried or delayed in transit so as to become dried, they should be 
soaked in water for one or two days befoi'e planting. 
ACER. Maple 
These are more largely planted than any other 
trees. Hardy, vigorous, attractive growers; re- 
markably free from injurious insects. Adapted 
to almost any soil. With their cool, dense shade, 
they are indispensable in all lawns, park and avenue 
plantings. The brilhant coloring of the leaves 
gives a very fine effect in the Fall. 
As the most rapid growers, we can recommend 
the Silver Maple and the Ash-leaved Maple; but 
for permanency, the popular Sugar and Norway 
Maples are to be preferred. The many other 
varieties are of more or less distinct types and more 
useful each in some specific place.
