Our Trees.. 
Are upland grown. This means 
hardier stock and better roots. 
They are measured for height from 
the ground up, as they will be 
after planting. Plant our shade 
trees about 2 to 3 inches deeper 
than they were grown in the -nurs- 
ery, water well at planting time 
and through dry parts of first 
summer, and you will have beauti- 
ful trees on your grounds in record 
time.

PRUNING OF SHADE TREES 
Softwood trees such as Elms, Soft Maple, Willow, require pruning in order to keep 
branches from splitting out in heavy storms. Where branches are too close, some of 
them should be removed entirely; those which appear to be too long should be shortened. 
All pruning of softwood trees should take place from July to September. Hardwood 
trees rarely need pruning, only to improve their shape. Prune them at any time it is 
necessary, but preferably in late fall or early spring.
