PREFACE. 
AIM to keep only such varieties of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, 
Vines and Plants as prove successful on Long Island. We cordially 
invite an inspection of our stock. Visitors will find our Nurseries one 
mile north of Westbury Station, on the L. I. R. R. Public hacks are 
in waiting at all trains. We are located on the Jericho macadamized turnpike, and 
may be easily reached by carriage, over good roads, from most parts of Queens county. 
Goods will be securely packed for safe shipment to any part of the country, for 
which charge is made to cover cost. We deliver packages to railroad and express 
companies, where our responsibility ceases, and goods travel at purchaser’s risk. 
We claim for our trees this advantage : Our sandy loam furnishes more abundant 
fibrous roots to the trees, and they are taken fresh from the ground, thus insuring 
greater success in transplanting. They are thoroughly cultivated and fertilized, healthy 
and vigorous; being carefully pruned, they are smooth and straight. We do not, 
however, guarantee the living of trees, as the want of proper protection before and 
while planting, or the damage ensuing from drouth and drying winds, often destroys 
a tree full of vigor. 
Terms Net Cash. P. O. Money Order may be secured for Westbury Station, 
Queens county. New York. 
We desire that all our patrons shall be fully satisfied, and if they are disappointed 
in any way, we wish to be informed of the fact, and allowed to do justice to them and 
ourselves. Our responsibility is limited by the price of stock. 
We commence digging trees as soon as the frost is out of the ground in March, 
and continue till the middle of May. In the fall, we commence about the middle of 
October, and continue till the ground is frozen in December. 
IMPORTANT DETAILS IN PLANTING. 
Let the tree be as little exposed as possible to the drying iniluence of the sun and 
wind. Those coming in wagons for their trees should bring suitable covering material. 
When the trees arrive at their destination, let the evergreens and other tender trees or 
plants be first heeled-in by covering the roots well with fresh, damp soil. It is well 
to give the heeled-in trees a good watering, that the roots and branches may regain
