Foreword 
This Price-List is compiled for the convenience 
of those who want to create the best home land¬ 
scapes. There are 400 acres, with millions of plants 
being grown for quality and economy, for you to 
choose from. 
The names of the trees and plants are based on the 
recommendations of the American Joint Committee 
on Horticultural Nomenclature as they appear in 
“Standardized Plant Names.” All quotations are 
based on “Horticultural Standards.” 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee every plant from our Nursery, and give new 
ones to replace those that do not grow satisfactorily. The 
cost of planting and transportation of replaced trees is borne 
by the purchaser. 
TERMS 
Prices are for stock loaded at the Nursery. Five plants are 
sold at the ten rate and fifty at the hundred rate. We charge 
for delivery and planting, also for packing for shipment if 
considerable labor and material are used. On small shipments, 
such as sent by Parcel Post, no packing charge is made. 
Credit. Cash with order, except to persons having estab¬ 
lished credit with us, whose accounts will be due in 30 days. 
LARGE TREE MOVING 
We have moved many thousands of large trees with perma¬ 
nent success, to the satisfaction of owners and landscape 
architects. Get in touch with our office for further information 
and rates. 
SUMMER PLANTING 
Approximately 90 per cent of the trees and plants in our 
Nurseries can be safely transplanted all summer. You can 
select them in leaf, and for particular color of bloom when at 
their full height of beauty. In a day or two the tree is planted 
on your lawn, so that you and the family receive immediate 
benefit of the shade. You can pick out shrubs and perennials 
in bloom and take them home in your car. 
WINTER PLANTING 
Winter planting, too, has its advantages, especially where 
large trees are concerned. By winter planting we mean plant¬ 
ing when there is considerable frost in the ground. On Long 
Island there is usually not much frost before January 1. The 
men easily pick through a few inches of frost. Trees can be 
hauled without injury to lawns. The best method is to plan 
ahead and mulch the trees and locations before much frost 
gets in the ground.
