SUCCESS IN TRANSPLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS 
Success in transplanting trees and shrubs has its foundation 
in the care given them in the nursery. Our stock is trans- 
planted often to insure a fibrous root system close to the 
plant. The soil at our nursery is of a nature to encourage the 
formation of masses of fibrous roots. This makes for a healthy 
and vigorous plant or tree which, when transplanted from 
our nursery to your garden has with it the root system to 
reestablish it with a minimum degree of shock or setback. 
All evergreens are carefully dug with a solid ball of soil 
which is wrapped with burlap and properly tied to prevent 
breaking. The rich humus soil in our nurseries is especially 
adapted to this method of handling, thus allowing the trans- 
planting of our evergreens at any time of year with the utmost 
safety. All plants and trees with roots balled in soil should be 
planted in their burlap, so as not to break the ball of earth. 
The top of burlap may be turned back or cut off after filling 
in around the ball with soil to allow water to enter the ball. 
Deciduous or leaf dropping ornamental trees, deciduous 
flowering shrubs, fruit and nut trees and roses are handled 
bare root when dormant (balled when they are in leaf). Because 
of our method of making a fibrous root system close to the 
plant or tree even large trees are moved with the greatest 
success and establish themselves rapidly in your garden. This 
class when handled bare root should have the packing material 
all removed and be planted with good soil firmed in with - 
water. If you are too late to buy them dormant we can supply 
most of this class growing in containers. In our soil, most 
varieties can be balled and burlapped even when in soft growth — 
in late spring and summer with entire safety. 
Note: Size alone does not indicate true value in plants, 
shrubs and trees. The only accurate way to evaluate is to see 
the quality of the stock. We quote only first class plants 
developed through scientific handling, including frequent _ 
transplanting and trimming to become specimens in their class. 
This affords our customers additional value in luxuriance, |
