BIG TREES 
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT YEARS FOR 
Shade and Beauty 
Thru the magic of the tree transplanting art as devel¬ 
oped by Ilgenfritz, you can begin NOW to enjoy the 
charm of Big Trees which it has taken years or 
generations to produce. Ilgenfritz delivers the trees 
of your choice, plants them on your grounds to har¬ 
monize perfectly with the surroundings, and GUAR¬ 
ANTEES the planting with the strongest guarantee 
known to the industry. 
Here you can make your choice from an almost limitless vari¬ 
ety of Big Trees—Maples or Oaks for majestic beauty, Elms or 
Sycamores for shade, a wide variety of Evergreens for year- 
round loveliness, and many others. By its service in skillfully 
transplanting Big Trees, Ilgenfritz saves you years of patient 
waiting while saplings grow to maturity. Depending on the size 
of trees you select, you get the benefit of five, ten, twenty or 
fifty years of growth ... in Big Trees ranging from five to 
twenty-two inches in diameter.
