SPECIMEN TREES 
FOR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS IN THE 
PLANTING OF HOME GROUNDS, PARKS 
AND GARDENS. 
W HEN a new home has been built 
it does not achieve its full 
measure of charm until a garden 
has grown up around it to unite it to its 
surroundings. The length of time re¬ 
quired to produce this desirable effect 
will depend largely upon the size and kind 
of plant material used. 
One method of securing quick effect is 
to plant small, low-priced but rapid- 
growing shrubs and trees. The objection 
to these plants is that too often they are 
lacking in character, and as they grow 
very quickly it is only a matter of a few 
years until they become crowded and 
the removal of many of them is necessary. 
A better method, and one that will 
prove to be equally economical over a 
period of years, is to use some large 
specimen trees to give form, character 
and effect of permanence to the garden. 
When these trees are carefully chosen 
and well placed it is not necessary to use 
many of them. The remainder of the 
planting may be made up of smaller 
trees of real worth, when skillfully com¬ 
bined with bedding and bulbous plants, 
will create at once a garden of charm and 
distinction. 
Large specimen trees in a wide range 
of varieties are being grown in our 
nursery. They vary in age from 10 to 
30 years. Many of them have already 
been carefully boxed, and have well- 
established root systems within their 
containers. With ordinarily careful 
handling these trees will transplant 
readily, and in almost all instances they 
grow very satisfactorily in their new 
locations. 
Many of these large trees are especially 
suitable for use as outdoor community 
Christmas Trees. The Cedrus deodara, 
Cedrus atlantica, Abies pinsapo, Pinus 
canariensis and Pinus radiata, 20 to 30 
feet high, are beautifully proportioned 
and their impressive size makes them 
available for immediate use. We will be 
glad to quote special prices to civic 
organizations and service clubs on trees 
lor community purposes. 
Since the value of these trees depends 
so largely on their shape, symmetry and 
furnishing, it is impossible to list definite 
prices on this class of stock. We invite 
a personal inspection of these trees 
wherever this is possible. Where it is not 
practicable for the customer to make a 
personal selection, we will exercise care 
to supply as good a specimen as possible 
within the price range named by the 
customer. Upon request we will be 
f ileased to submit photographs of the 
arger specimen trees.
