66 CHERRY HILL NURSERIES 
PLANTING 
On large orders of 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 experience 
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 drastically, 
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 fer- 
tilizer 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. They may be planted with our special tree 
moving equipment even when the ground is frozen in the winter. 
If arranged for earlier this is an economical time. 
The use of a few large specimens with the smaller plants gives 
very pleasing and satisfactory effects. We have growing a large 
variety of specimens 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.
