Group of Trees Balled and Burlaped for Shipping from Glen Saint Mary Nurseries 
Trees and Shrubs Shipped with Balls 
of Earth 
The method which we have perfected for handling open-ground-grown shrubs and trees of 
various kinds with their roots still undisturbed and surrounded by the earth in which they grew 
has given the best of results. Our customers are more than pleased. Hitherto it has been possible 
to accomplish this only when the plants were grown in heavy, compact clay soil. Our success in this 
new departure is one of the most important advances in the handling of trees and shrubs in years. 
We are now able to make shipment of trees without pruning them back, of ornamentals and roses 
with the flowers still on them, and ready to burst into bloom, to be transferred to your garden or 
grounds in their original shape and beauty. The effect is immediate, you do not have to wait for 
the plants to develop new heads, and repair the loss of top and branches,—in brief, we can now 
supply you with ready-grown shrubs and trees for a ready-made garden. 
The following list of plants, which we are now able to furnish with balls of earth, is a large and 
comprehensive one. On special orders there are some others which we can furnish from the general 
lists in our catalogue. 
Citrus Trees: Broad-leaved Evergreens: 
Oranges, Grapefruit and Kumquats. Camphor, American Holly, Dahoon Holly, 
Other Fruit Trees: Magnolia grandiflora, Tea Plant, Abelia,
