Note, in the photograph above, how bar¬ 
ren this new house looks, without land¬ 
scaping. 
At right, an amazing transformation! A 
few weeks later—the same house has 
become a beautiful HOME—enhanced by 
simple but beautiful grounds and two big 
American Elms, properly placed. Com¬

TREE MOVING 
a “FINE ART” 
Nearly a century of experience has built up in the Monroe 
Nursery a wealth of knowledge and skill in the care and 
planting of Big Trees. Our experts study trees, the soils best 
suited to them, the feeding methods that bring the best results, 
the steps in removing and transporting them, the proper 
planting and drainage—all so that they shall continue to 
grow in splendid health and beauty. Our landscape men have 
developed outstanding skill in placing and design—so that 
the dominating mass of a big tree is made an imposing but 
integral part of the entire landscaping effect. 
Big Trees are transplanted by Ilgenfritz trained specialists at 
all seasons of the year. With a background of over 90 years 
of experience, we have developed transplanting methods so 
successful that we guarantee every Big Tree for a two-year 
period. 
TWICE-A-YEAR SERVICE 
Ilgenfritz service has only begun when Big Trees are transplanted on the 
grounds. Every tree is serviced twice a year for the two-year guarantee period 
with the Compressed Air Tree Feeding Method. 
On trees six inches or more in diameter all guy cables will be fastened by: 
1. Lag hooks into the tree (no wire loops will be put around trunk). 
2. Stranded cable—not single fence wire. 
3. Cadmium plated rust-proof turnbuckles for the purpose of keeping guy 
cables tight. 
4. Adequate sized anchors buried deep enough in the ground to protect the 
tree from wind sway. 
Trees under six inches in diameter to be guyed with galvanized wire covered 
with rubber hose to protect bark. 
We agree to furnish and apply sufficient quantity of plant food to insure proper 
growth wherever necessary during the guarantee period. 
The trunks of all trees will be wrapped with creped water-proofed kraft paper. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee that these trees will live for two growing seasons after planting. 
Replacements will be made without charge to the customer if they fail to grow 
for this period, provided they are not injured by accident or from other causes 
beyond our control, and maintenance is provided by the customer according to 
our recommendations. During the period thru which warranty extends, we 
agree to make at least four inspections of the trees and will feed them as 
required. Customer is required to furnish such cultivation and watering, as is 
required by the trees or recom¬ 
mended by our representative. 
During guarantee period such 
trimming as is necessary will be 
done at time of servicing without 
extra charge. 
Examine our photographs of trees 
available for transplanting—any 
Ilgenfritz representative will be 
glad to show them without obli¬ 
gation.
