SPECIMEN TREES 
I 
FOR IMMEDIATE EFFECTS IN THE PLANTING OF 
HOME GROUNDS, PARKS AND GARDENS 
When a. new home has beeen built it 
does not achieve its full measure of 
charm until a garden has grown up 
around it to unite it to its surroundings. 
The length of time required to produce 
this desirable effect will depend 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 per¬ 
manence 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 careful handling 
these trees will transplant readily, and 
in almost all instances 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 or¬ 
ganizations and service clubs on trees 
for community purposes.

Trees Like These Will Give Immediate 
Beauty to Your Garden 
Since the value of these trees depends 
so largely on their shape, symmetry 
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 possible.
