WHOLESALE PRICE LIST — SEASON 1946 

PLANT BIG OAK TREES 
SHADE TREES are the most important item to get planted in the general Landscape, and immediate ef- 
fects can now be obtained by use of Specimen Trees. The Evergreen Live Oak (Spanish Type) has come 
to be the most favored type for general planting in the Southwest. 
Many Customers have lost years in developing their planting, and want to make haste for early results. 
To satisfy such demands, we are able to offer nicely developed Field Grown Specimens, ranging from 4 inch 
Caliper to 10 inch Caliper, with nicely shaped tops for immediate transplanting. Where the trees are root- 
pruned and cultivated in our fields, we have no hesitancy in moving them successfully in these sizes for 
immediate and satisfying results. 

Five inch Caliper Live Oak two months after transplanting 
For the best results in planting our Live Oak Trees, 
we urge you to let us use our Best Judgment in Prun- 
ning the tops when we dig your orders for shipment. 
We recommend stripping and thinning out all the small 
limbs, the size of a pencil or smaller. 
WIRING THE BALLS 
We recommend placing Hog Wire Fence around 
balls from 2% inch caliper up. Where we ball and 
deliver quantities of Live Oak and specimen Trees 
and Shrubbery without wiring, we consider the price 
a good investment for the Customer. See price of 
wiring elsewhere in the catalog. 

Specimen Live Oaks Enroute to Planting. 
Experimental reports have been made by Experi- 
ment Stations after several years of study on suit- 
ability of soil for growing Live Oak trees. The tests 
show that they will grow on any kind of soil equally 
as well as on another, whereas, deciduous Oaks ean 
only be grown on sour soil. Tests have also been 
made that Spanish Live Oaks ARE NOT susceptible 
to Texas Cotton Root Rot. 

B&B SPANISH LIVE OAKS READY FOR LOADING 
Our orders for Live Oak trees are dug promptly 
from our large fields of trees. After they are B&B 
(Balled and Burlapped) and wired if necessary, we 
haul them to the Railroad siding to be loaded onto 
Railroad cars for shipment. Trees are pruned and 
ready for shipment before they leave the field. 

SHIPMENT VIA GONDOLA FREIGHT CARS 
We find after several years practice in loading, 
that large Live Oaks are better handled for shipment 
in open Gondola cars, and where possible ship two 
50 ft. cars locked together, so the tops can be over- 
lapped to the center. This makes a double minimum 
car shipment, and they carry in good shape and can 
_be unloaded easily. 
NATIVE WESTERN TYPE LIVE OAK Q. virginiana 
Nursery grown and root pruned, but slow growing native 
type, more irregular in shape of growth.
