Roots of Plants. 
We seldom hear much said 
about the root system of a tree 
or plant; in fact, if the lop of 
the plant looks shapely, little is 
thought of it otherwise by the 
usual buyer; but the fact is, its 
root system is an all important 
feature in its economy. If a 
plant is to be transplanted suc¬ 
cessfully it is of great import¬ 
ance that its roots have been 
suitably trained, and this ap¬ 
plies especially to the larger 
trees and all evergreens. Ap¬ 
preciating this, we regularly 
root prune our trees, with the 
result that the stock we send out 
is in the best of condition, both 
under and above ground, for 
successful transplanting.

Pin Oak. A native tree of great beauty. The formal

"The trees and shrubs came Saturday and are all in the grou>td. They were very nice trees and 
we thank you for your care in selecting and packing them. They were in fine condition and I 
should think they would grow and do finely .”
