Street and Shade Trees 
ASK FOR CIRCULAR NO. I 
Street and Shade Trees are usually planted for utilitarian 
purposes, yet, being permanent features of the landscape, 
both beauty and utility should be considered in their selec- 
tion. A third and equally important matter, too often over- 
looked, should have equal consideration, and that is the 
character of the ground in which they are to be planted. As 
an illustration, 
the Norway 
Maple, a superior 
tree in every re- 
spect, will lead 
only to disap- 
pointment if 
planted in thin 
gravelly ground. 
When trees are 
desired that will 
assume a certain 
shape or fulfil cer- 
tain require- 
ments, it is im- 
portant that the 
proper species be 
selected. 
Our system of 
transplanting in 
the nursery rows, 
and root-pruning, 
produces a supe- 
rior tree, easily 
transplanted, and 
one that develops 
rapidly.
