mmmm 
This is the oldest of our windbreaks 
at Little Tree Farms in Framing¬ 
ham Centre. Where these 
glorious Pines grow, we 
grow Pines for your 
windbreaks. - ™ 
Every tennis player objects to serving 
against the wind. This White 
Pine windbreak is protection 
and a charming background. 
BORDERS 
Protection from Wind and Weather 
Windbreaks and shelter belts are those 
protective border plantings which supply 
the simplest and most easily maintained 
living wall against wind and storm. The 
small vegetable garden, and the big truck 
farm, alike, thrive in the protection of 
evergreen windbreaks. Young orchards 
are especially benefited by such plantings, 
which protect the tender buds from hail 
in spring and lessen the amount of windfall 
fruit in autumn. 
The stock farm, whether private or 
commercial, must have windbreaks. The 
health of the animals is conserved, and 
expenditure for feed and fuel is lessened 
by the protection of evergreens planted 
around the barns and yards. 
Naturally the best windbreak is of 
evergreens. They have the necessary bulk 
and density to withstand the elements, 
and at the same time they hold some heat 
in winter. The trees used for windbreaks 
should be fast-growing, persistent, and of 
good stature. Since the purpose is utility 
they should also be of reasonable price. 
Little Tree Farms grows trees especially 
for this use, in large quantities, at low 
prices. 
For generations such evergreens as 
White Pine and Red Pine, Spruce, Firs 
and Arborvitae have been favored by the 
home owner. You can see the character 
of the Spruces and Pines perfectly in the 
illustrations on this and the following 
page. (The Spruces and Firs come closer 
to the ground than the Pines. If you need 
protection especially close to the ground, 
plant Spruce or Fir; or plant Pine with 
Arborvitae, Spruce or Fir in front of it.) 
All the evergreens we offer for wind¬ 
breaks are strong, well rooted, fast grow¬ 
ing and low priced. A special product 
for a special use. See the pictures and 
descriptions of species, further on in this 
Year Book, pages 24 to 37. 
Special low prices will be quoted on car¬ 
load and truck lots of large evergreens. Let 
us know what you need. 
Here is the simplest of garage screen plantings for quick use 
at least possible expense. A half dozen Red or White Pines 
and several Spruces or Firs. 
Flower gardens and tender crops thrive best in the protection 
of a good windbreak — like these White Pines — Red Pine, 
White Spruce and Douglas Fir would be equally good. 
Evergreens are priced f.o.b. nursery. Packing for rail shipment extra, at cost.
