AMAWALK TREES 
Only Developed Trees Offered for Sale 
We clo not offer any small-sized, immature trees for sale. 
Only those trees are catalogued that have received sufficient 
Amawalk training to enable them to assume the habits of 
the matured trees. The longer we grow our trees the finer 
they become; our 20 to 30 foot evergreens are heavier and 
older, and our 10 to 15 inch deciduous trees are more 
matured than are trees of similar size elsewhere. 
Digging Trees 
The greatest care is taken in the digging and handling of 
our trees, so as not to injure either the root system or the 
branches. Our most experienced men are in charge of the 
digging, the balling and the loading of the trees. 
Loading Trees 
No order is dug until just before the trees are to leave the 
Nursery. If the trees are to be delivered bv truck, they are 
dug in the morning, loaded on the truck in the afternoon, 
and delivered as early as possible the next morning. When 
the order is to be shipped by freight, the trees are not dug 
until the freight car is on our siding. 
Railroad Shipments 
An advantage of our location on the Putnam Branch of the 
New York Central Railroad is that our freight shipments 
to the North, South, East and West do not have to be routed 
through New York City. Our shipments to the West make 
Albany the day after leaving Amawalk. 
Planting Trees 
We guarantee that every tree leaving Amawalk is in the 
best condition obtainable with scientific care and handling. 
To obtain the best results, this tree has to be planted on 
the purchaser’s grounds in the soil and exposure best suited 
to its variety. It has also to be properly planted and 
receive adequate attention for the first year after trans¬ 
planting or until its roots become re-established.
