How we “made” 
these trees 
Only the sturdiest and best colored youngsters were 
selected from the nursery row. They were then pruned, 
both tops and roots, and transplanted good distances' 
apart in another field. In repeating this process from 
4 to 6 times over a period of io to 15 years, the weak 
trees were discarded as were those of faulty growth. 
Those that survived this “sifting” process we now offer 
at prices that represent but a fraction of what the trees 
will be worth to you, on your grounds! 
1 hey are “ready” in every sense of the word, ready to grow, ready to take a perfect part 
at once in the decorative scheme of your home grounds. 
f ifteen years ago we became thoroughly convinced of the permanent value of American 
Arbor Vitae in the “Landscape Beautiful.” We promptly started to propagate a stock of 
generous proportions. We were willing to do the work and waiting, in order to offer American 
Garden Lovers a finished product. This year sees the fulfilment of our ambition to offer you 
the finest stock of Specimen Arbor Vitae ever produced in this country.
