Planting Suggestions 
Large Trees for Specimens or Screens 
T HROUGHOUT this catalog there are listed both Evergreens and 
Deciduous Trees in larger sizes than are usually obtainable from 
nurseries. From the time the tiny seeds leave the propagating 
beds, where they are carefully tended and watched, the growth of these 
trees has been dominated by one purpose, that of producing plants that 
are well developed both as to the top, or head, and especially as to the 
root-system. By frequent transplanting and root-pruning, careful training 
and trimming, these trees have been grown for many years with ample 
space for the development of their natural characteristics and habits. 
Thus we are enabled to offer beautiful specimens with great balls of fine, 
fibrous feeding-roots which can be successfully transplanted and which 
will produce immediate effects. 
The two pompous old Box Bush in the illustration on page 29 are ex¬ 
amples of some of our Andorra-grown specimens in large sizes. 
To those who wish to plant stock commensurate with dignity and 
architectural^ character, harmonious and in scale with house or garden, 
we would invite a personal examination, if possible, of the many varieties 
of tall Japanese Cypress and Junipers, pleasing with the play of light and 
shadow on their fine-cut needles, large Firs, and Spruce, and of the rare 
old specimens of Box Bush and Japanese Holly which have taken on the 
modeling and contour of maturity so thoroughly appropriate to Colonial 
architecture. 
On our grounds are many Rhododendron plants in large sizes, and 
spreading Azaleas, whose use in combination with the smaller sizes will 
give the irregularity of mass and profile so necessary to proper appearance. 
For the planting of screens and windbreaks or for planting singly, we 
have in our Nurseries Oaks and Maples up to 30 or 40 feet in height, 
which can be combined with the large sizes of Norway Spruce, Austrian 
and White Pine, to secure results at once that would otherwise entail 
years of waiting. 
Many of these large plants cannot be properly described in a catalog 
and we are always glad to send descriptions or photographs in answer 
to inquiries for these extra-large sizes of nursery-grown plants.
