The Greening Nursery Company 

Methods and Machinery Developed by 
We plant millions of trees and seeds each year, and harvest millions of young trees. 
Producing trees of Greening quality by ordinary methods would result in having to charge 
much higher prices. After intense study of the problems involved and the results desired 
Greening’s mechanical shops designed and built machinery and equipment that revolution- 
ized planting and cultivating methods. Not only does Greening produce better trees with 
these machines but the savings effected mean less expensive trees for the planter. Pictured 
here are some of the ingenious devices Greening’s have developed for improved tree planting. 
THE GREENING 
TREE PLANTER 
Truly a mechanical marvel. Note that feed- 
ers ride backwards, feeding mechanical planters 
which automatically correctly space and plant 
two rows at once. On this machine a revolv- 
ing cutter opens a trench 4 inches wide, 8 
inches deep. Removed soil is pulverized and 
placed at one side. The shoe holds trench 
open, guides the plant roots and loose soil is 
returned to trench and firmed by drive wheels. 
Powered by an 80-horse power engine, the 
machine plants 52,000 seedlings a day. Two 
such machines are required to handle our 
Spring plantings.

IMPROVEMENT EXTENDED BY 
MECHANIZED PRODUCTION 
No Greening operation can wait the ingenuity of other 
men. Tools and machinery are designed and made in our 
own research shops—a research in mechanics of nursery op- 
eration as important to quality and quantity production as our 
“Bud Selection.” 
In the development of our own equipment for our own 
peculiar problems, Greening men alone are respensible. 
These inventions are important to you as a buyer of nurs- 
ery stock, since they make it possible to do a better job in 
each production operation, at less cost. This means that you 
buy better quality of nursery stock at the lowest prices. 
The machine pictured here is our Fruit Tree Cultivator. 
It is put to almost daily use during the growing season. It 
does its work better, safer and cuts costs. Note top illustra- 
tion how operator rides close to the ground where he can see 
his work and guide machine to prevent injury to trees. It 
straddles two rows of trees even after they have reached full 
growth in the rows—cultivates 25 acres in 10 hours.
