OUR TREES are grown under a thorough, clean, system of cultivation, fre- 
quently transplanted, and are well supplied with an abundance of 
fibrous roots which enables them to bear transplanting well. In many 
varieties we have large specimen trees which are not quoted here but on 
which we are always glad to make prices. Our packing sheds have the most 
complete laciHties for handling and shipping, insuring the arrival of all 
stock in perfect condition. We grow these trees from seed and on account 
of the extreme northerly situation of our nurseries they are peculiarly 
adapted to planting in the most rigorous of climates.
