SPECIMEN TREES 
FOR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS IN THE 
PLANTING OF HOME GROUNDS, 
PARKS AND GARDENS 
When 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 surround¬ 
ings. The length of time required to 
produce this desirable effect will de¬ 
pend largely upon the size and kind 
of plant material used. 
A good method, and one that will 
prove 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. 
Large specimen trees in a wide 
range of varieties are being grown in 
our nursery. They vary in age from 
10 to 30 years. With ordinarily care¬ 
ful handling these trees will trans¬ 
plant readily, and in almost all in¬ 
stances they grow very satisfactorily 
in their new locations. 
Many of these large trees are espe¬ 
cially suitable for use as outdoor com¬ 
munity Christmas Trees. We will be 
glad to quote special prices to civic 
organizations and service clubs on 
trees for community purposes.

TREES LIKE THESE WILL GIVE IMME¬ 
DIATE BEAUTY TO YOUR GARDEN 
Since the value of these trees de¬ 
pends so largely on their shape, sym¬ 
metry 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 pos¬ 
sible.
