\/ SECOND, by the application of scientific methods to 
seed bed preparation — constantly testing soils, developing 
new food formulas required by different species of trees. 
\/ THIRD, weekly checks of all seedlings, studying the 
root development, color, height and growth. Every factor 
in the life of the tree is considered. 
\/ RESULTS: We can proudly offer to the trade a strong-

be transplanted with a smaller percentage of loss.

For a number of years our Chief Horticulturist has worked 
on the development of a more perfectly balanced seedling tree. 
That is, a tree with healthier leaves, stronger stems, and, above 
all, a LARGER and STURDIER ROOT SYSTEM.
