FARR NURSERY COMPANY, WEISER PARK, PENNA. 
Hundreds of Farr Shade Trees, Japanese Cherries and Evergreens, and thousands of Flowering Shrubs, beautify the extensive 
grounds of Laureldale Cemetery, Reading, Pa. 
Shade Trees 
At Weiser Park we grow especially good Shade Trees. The soil insures good root-systems, which are re¬ 
tained when the trees are dug. It is also a heavy soil which permits liberal and solid balls of earth, to in¬ 
sure safe transplanting. We allow room in the nursery for proper development of trunk and top, and 
grow only the trees that succeed under conditions in our selling territory. 
Prices on Shade Trees, unless otherwise specified, apply to 
bare root handling. B&B for summer planting, etc., at extra 
charge. Inches are diameter one foot above ground. A second 
amount, where specified, is the 10 rate.
