I^OCAXIOIN.—Our Nurseries are located on the Jericho Turnpike, and may be easily reached over good roads (see map). They are one mile north of Westbury Station, L. I. R. R., where public hacks are found. XESXIXG.—Xlie extensive test orcliards, started 60 years ago, have been of great value to Long Island planters. Hundreds of varieties of Apple, Pear, Peach, Plum, Cherry, and other fruit have been carefully tried and worthy kinds recommended. Similar tests have been made of shade trees and shrubs. Recent additions, too extensive to be catalogued, have been made of rare species and varieties of hardy trees, shrubs and vines, which are now under trial in our Arboretum and Nursery-blocks. ADVABJXAGES.—The advantages of our Nursery to Long Island and other planters are that trees are grown in rich loam soil, wide apart, frequently cultivated, annually manured or fertilized, skillfully pruned and trained, carefully dug by fork and spade, all of which insures vigorous constitution and ample root system. Beingf centrally located, even trees of large size are quickly delivered by wagon to distant places, as. Far Rockaway, Brooklyn, Great Neck, Northport or Islip, and to more distant points by railroad. Evergreens may thus be planted the same day as dug. Our location, methods of cultivation, and the absence of traveling agents are the factors of econom- ical production and selling. Our trees are largfer and have better roots tlian tliose usually sold. They live and grow better than smaller trees, which is contrary to a frequent opinion based on poor-rooted, close- grown stock, which struggles unsuccessfu
