FALL PLANTING OF LITTLE TREES 
Fall planting is being more and more extensively practiced each year. The proper time to plant any kind of tree is when it 
can be given the best care and attention. During the late summer and autumn, property owners are usually at their country 
homes and estates, and can thus give the planting their personal supervision, and have the pleasure of laying out the work 
and watching its progress. The pleasure in making the plantation does not cease upon completion of the work, but is of 
recurring interest, year after year, as the trees grow larger and thus transform what was formerly an unsightly spot into 
a place of shade and restfulness. 
Estate owners find that labor is more easily procured in the autumn than in the spring, when all available labor is neces 
sarily needed for the large volume of routine work occurring during that season. Trees set out in autumn get well estab¬ 
lished before the ground freezes, and thus get an early start in spring. Trees transplanted in the fall frequently make better 
growth during the following summer than those set out in the intervening spring. 
FALL SEASON FOR EVERGREENS: Fall planting should be regulated by conditions rather than by date; as long 
as the ground is damp and free from frost, transplanting is safe. The latter part of August and the whole of September 
are the proper fall season for transplanting most kinds of evergreens. 
FALL SEASON FOR DECIDUOUS TREES: October and November are desirable months for transplanting 
deciduous trees. The general rule for hardwoods is to transplant as soon as the leaves begin to color. By removing the 
leaves, the work may be done somewhat earlier if necessary. 
One of the most essential requisites for successful fall planting is that the soil contain considerable moisture. Because of 
the unprecedented rainfall during the slimmer months, conditions are now ideal for transplanting small trees. 
LITTLE TREE GARDENS 
Why not plant rows or beds of little trees in your garden, to be set in permanent places as they grow large enough? 
You can use them for borders and hedges, along paths, and around the vegetable garden; and as they grow, keep such 
hedges as you wish, transplanting the other trees where they are needed on your property. They will afford you pleasure and 
interest from the first, and greatly lessen the expense of the ultimate plantation. 
The little trees require very slight care, practically nothing but weeding, and their varied characteristics and their 
frequent changes from season to season are a constant delight and surprise. They grow rapidly, some kinds doubling their 
growth annually for several seasons, while others increase from one to three feet each year. 
Such a little tree garden, or a private nursery, — and of these we have furnished hundreds, — adds much to the value of 
an estate. Transplanting can be done at any time, without delay, and at any stage when plants are ready to produce the 
effect desired. Set them on some waste land or unsightly spot, in groves or singly, along an avenue, or to use as wind¬ 
breaks, screens, or hedges. 
BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME AND GROUNDS BY PLANTING LITTLE TREES 
And where is there a landowner who does not desire trees to beautify his home and grounds, whether they are large or small? 
Property without trees and shrubs has a barren and desolate appearance. Even a few trees add greatly to the landscape 
beauty of an estate. Many landowners realize that shade and ornamental trees on an estate are not only a source of pleasure, 
but also that they greatly increase property values. We cater not only to the landowners who use large quantities of trees, but 
also to those who can only use them in limited quantities.
