Henry Field's Amazing 
ABOUT SHIPPING TREES: Many 
trees are too tall to ship by Parcel 
Post so we have to ship them express. 
So please watch and, when necessary, 
be sure to tell us where your nearest 
express station is. 
Henry Field’s offer you an unusually 
large variety of shade and ornamental 
trees. Here you can findsexactly the 
tree or trees for your particular need 
—ornamental or shade—for yard, feed 
lot or field, for windbreaks, and for 
soil erosion control, 
IMPORTANT: Trees over 6 feet in height should be staked and 
tied for the first year. Look at your ties occasionally to see that 
they are not cutting into the bark. Also, do no plant trees too 
deeply. If you do, they may die. Plant them at the same depth 
they grew in our nursery row; you can see the ring of discoloration.
