The great increase in new housing has resulted in a very wide- 
spread demand for ornamental trees. It is our belief that this 
demand will continue to be strong for several years, and we feel that 
the ornamentals in our blocks at Ellington will prove profitable for 
you. They are grown in richly fertilized soil, spaced in wide rows 
and pruned to produce a desirable form. We have many varieties 
available that have been scarce in recent years.
