HARRISON’S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 
Our suggestion for large suburban or city planting. Twelve Evergreens, 
Hemlocks, Spruces, Arborvitaes, Firs, and Junipers, mixed, large specimens; 
six shade trees, in large sizes; 50 yards of Hemlock hedge and 50 yards of 
Privet hedge should be on the average grounds of a quarter acre or less. 
The entire lot, in large sizes so as to give immediate effect, would cost $45 
to $75. If you think of this class of planting, it will pay you to write us, 
or come to Berlin. 
Other considerations that must be watched are 
the. size of your grounds, whether the planting is 
entirely new, or supplements trees already there, 
the kind of buildings you have, and whether you 
are. located in country or town. For instance, in 
a little yard, except for protection, plant small 
trees; while in a large space use big trees; or again, 
for the small place, the Norway and other Maples 
are the best small or medium-sized shade trees, 
but the Elm is large and suited only for filling big 
spaces. Among evergreens, Junipers and Arbor¬ 
vitaes are small; White Pines and Douglas Fir are 
large. The descriptions of the different trees will 
enable you to choose the ones that best suit. These 
suggestions are meant to explain the how and why 
to you. Use your judgment after you have con¬ 
sidered all the conditions to be met. 
Sometimes you want results quickly, and again 
you may be willing for the sake of finer ultimate 
results to wait six or eight years. As an instance 
of choosing between different trees on this basis, 
you would take Silver Maple for the fast grower, 
and Norway for the finer tree; or in the case of an 
evergreen hedge, Norway Spruce for quickest
