Start a HOME NURSERY 
To indicate how really small a home nursery can be, and still be useful, 
we offer sketch and notes. Do not wait until you need trees—large ones 
and in a hurry—but look over your grounds and plant now what you 
need 3, 5 or even 10 years hence.

MINIMUM-SIZE 
HOME NURSERY 
The plan shows a corner of a lot using 
a 9 by 12 foot area for a nursery—no 
more space than used by a small speci- 
men tree. The shrubbery masks the area. 
Exposure is planned as if north were at 
the top—but any exposure would do, lo- 
cating the Lath-screen in shady spot. 
Save money and labor 
Save disappointments 
Save delays 
Increase your enjoyment 
Rare and interesting varieties 
Culture not difficult. 


Lath Screen sketched above is very im- 
portant for young plants the first sum- 
mer. Simply built of ordinary lath and 
a few nails. Screen is rested on the 
posts. 
Heel-in Area. Even a tiny spot kept free 
for this purpose, enables one to tempo- 
rarily plant a shipment of plants the day 
received. They can safely remain for 
weeks if need be before permanent plant- 
ing. Water well.

A—Seedlings or Rooted Cuttings 
Must be shaded first two years. Planted 
2” x 2”, lath-house holds 432. After 
two years, must be transplanted into next 
grade. 
B—Once Transplanted Grade 
Grown as above, or bought. (Our 2 yr. 
and 3 yr. Azaleas, e.g.) Space about 
4” x 4” (108 in the lath-house pictured). 
Shaded first year, but the second year 
shade omitted except in drought. In 2 
years, now twice transplants (“XX’’), 
usable as hedge plants, for bedding, etc. 
C—Twice Transplanted Grade 
Can be moved into open, spaced 8” x 8” 
(nursery pictured holds 162) and left 
two years. They are “‘shaped’’; straggly 
branches lopped off with sharp knife. 
Cultivate, fertilize, water, no shade 
needed. After 2 years, they are XXX 
(three times transplanted), bushy and 
shapely. Such plants in this Guide 
would no longer be marked *, as they 
are not now “small unformed yeung 
plants.” 
D—S pecimens 
Every garden needs some larger, well 
formed plants. Such specimens are 
grown 2 or more years spaced 18” x 18” 
(nursery pictured holds 32).
