These Roots Tell 
Root System of Oft-Transpianted Tree 
Trees write their life’s stories in their roots — for those who have 
eyes to read. The two trees whose root systems are shown above 
have had quite a different treatment. 
The illustration at the left shows a young tree which has been 
transplanted many times. As a result, the roots are compact and 
close to the tree. Such a tree will transplant well. It is more 
certain to live and will grow faster. 
The other illustration shows a similar tree which had been trans- 
planted only once. As is usual in digging, nearly all the roots were 
cut off at the proper distance. But one root was left untouched to 
show how far away from the trunk of the tree the fibrous roots had 
grown. Perhaps you have bought such trees and have had to wait 
two or three years for them to develop a new root system. If so, 
try Rosedale Oft-Transplanted Trees. Even our cheapest trees such 
as catalpa, ash, poplars and birches are provided with plenty of 
good roots; they will grow from the start. 
In digging at Rosedale, great care is used to preserve the roots in- 
tact. We do not use tree-digging machines. All Rosedale Trees 
are dug fresh from the ground at time of packing the order. Our 
prices are f.o.b. Tarrytown — no extras.

Douglas Fir — A beautiful and hardy evergreen with plumelike branches. 
E. H. Wilson says of it. “Either as a lawn tree, for avenues or for mass- 
ing. the Douglas Fir is equally valuable and it needs no commendation.” 
White Pine iPinus Strobus) — Perhaps the most 
beautiful of our native pines.
