Deciduous Trees 
Several years ago we realized that there would shortly be a demand for 
a better grade of shade trees than were being commonly sold in nurseries at 
that time. With this idea in mind we commenced transplanting large blocks 
of all varieties, selecting only nice, straight, first-class trees for the purpose, 
discarding any crooked or ill-shaped stock. Time has proven the wisdom of 
our foresight, and while the demand for this class of stock has been greater 
than our expectation, our supply has been sufficient to meet the demand, and 
though our sales last year on these trees were very heavy we still have a good 
supply on hand for this season’s sales. 
Our object is to grow a first-class tree, well rooted, with straight trunk and 
a nice top and we spare no expense to produce a tree of this character. All 
crooked trees are discarded. Every tree we send out is a good tree. We stake 
all of our trees with long bamboo poles and in that way we get not only a 
perfectly straight trunk, but a stem right to the top of the tree. This should 
be kept in mind when comparing our prices with the “cheap” trees usually 
offered. 
Notice.—When ordering trees, be sure to specify both the height and cal¬ 
liper, as shown in the catalogue. It will be noticed that in many instances 
trees of the same height are of different calliper and in others they are the 
same calliper but different height.
