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 again 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 dis* 
carded. 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 he kept in mind when comparing our 
prices with the “cheap” trees usually offered.
