PLANTING 
On large orders or trees in ‘the larger sizes where the home 
owner cannot plant alone or obtain help in planting, we can, 
when previously arranged for, plant the stock we furnish. 
The plantsmen we can supply have had many years of experi- 
ence at this work. 
MAINTENANCE AND CARE 
Evergreens and shrubs, when planted near the house, will 
in a few years, grow too large for the space assigned them and 
will mar the effect which was originally intended. Instead of 
waiting until they are too large and then pruning them dras- 
tically, it is much better to give them a light pruning every 
year. By this method no large branches are cut and the 
planting will continue for many years improving in value and 
appearance. We have men available in the summer and 
winter months and the cost is slight when compared with the 
results obtained. 
Especially near the house, the soil is often dry and lacking 
in plant food, and it is better to make a light application of 
fertilizer every year rather than too much at one time. 
LARGE TREES 
Large specimen trees may be moved with safety at almost 
any time of the year. The modern method of digging with a 
large ball of earth on the roots ensures the continuous flow of 
sap through the fine feeding roots. Trees handled in this 
manner usually continue to grow without any check and make 
immediate landscape effects. If arrangements can be made 
to do this in the winter when the ball of earth may be frozen, 
it will be found the most economical way. The use of a few _ 
large specimens with the smaller plants gives very pleasing and 
satisfactory effects. We have growing a large variety of speci- 
mens which we can furnish, and are prepared to give you 
estimates on your needs without obligation on your part. 
You are cordially invited to visit the nurseries and see the 
quality of the trees and plants at Cherry Hill.
