White Ash. 
Shade and Ornamental Trees. 
FOR WINDBREAKS AND BEAUTIFICATION OF HOME SURROUND- 
INGS. 
This department of our business is very extensive, where Avenue and 
Park trees are cultivated in large blocks; many acres are assigned to the 
field culture of shrubs, and small growing trees; thousands of rows, in the 
borders, contain the more delicate shrubs and herbaceous plants. 
Many of the most active business men are also men of taste, and would be 
glad to beautify and improve their home grounds, but they are so occupied 
with business that they neither have time nor disposition to find out what 
they want, or to lay out their grounds. Where such is the case, we cheer- 
fully place our experience and Knowledge at their command, and willingly 
furnisli plans and estimates for large or small places. 
All our trees are grown under a thorough, clean system of cultivation, 
frequently transplanted and arc well supplied with an abundance of fibrous 
roots which enable them to bear transplanting well. Do not be deceived 
into planting forest-grown trees, for disappointment follows 99 plantings 
in every 100. In many varieties we have large specimen trees, which are 
not quoted herein. Prices on these will be cheerfully given on application. 
For hardiness and quick growth, we especially recommend the Catalpa 
Speciosa, Silver or Soft Maple and Carolina, Lombardy and Silver Poplars.
