Plant Shade Trees 
Now! 
October and November are the best months to 
plant many trees and shrubs. When you buy 
Rosedale trees you may be sure they will grow. 
The illustration at the left shows a young tree 
that has been transplanted but once. As is usual, 
in digging, nearly all the roots were cut off at the 
proper distance. One root was left intact to 
show how far away the fibrous roots run if the 
tree has not been transplanted a sufficient num- 
ber of times. In contrast with this, notice, in the 
illustration at the right, the magnificent root sys- 
tem of a Rosedale Maple, many times transplanted.
