Book Description
Excerpt from Shade Trees and Other Ornamentals While the planting of a tree is a simple operation and most people have an idea as to how to do it, yet it seems advisable to point out a few of the more important things to keep in mind in the planting and training of the young tree. Soil. Success with shade trees depends in a meas ure on the soil. If the land is too sandy or gravelly, so as to be deficient in plant food or be subjected to droughts, it is important to make a large sized hole and put in a load of good loam. On the other hand, if the soil is too heavy an adobe, it is also advisable to dig a large hole and break through the adobe soil or in some way loosen it, and put in the bottom of the hole good loam and mix with this the adobe soil. In any event have a soft foundation for the roots to penetrate. If the land is not too sandy or too adobe, the hole need not be so large but always make it of sufficient size to take in all the roots of the tree without crowding them. The size of the hole depends on the kind of soil and on the size of the tree. If the soil is in proper condi tion and the tree is four to six feet tall with a normal amount of roots, a hole twenty inches in every direction Should be large enough.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shade and Ornamental Trees of California While highways, to be sure, are of extreme importance to motorists, an importance which' can scarcely be overestimated, highways are not merely for motorists. Travelers from the East constantly comment upon a California phenomenon never seen in Eastern cities - the long strings of men and girls pouring out of our cities and towns on holidays, clad in hiking costumes and filing along the roadways - for the roads lead to the trails and the trails to the hills. I The work of our State Department of. Forestry in planting and decorating the highways assumes, therefore, more than a special or group interest. While such improvements increase the pleasure and contentment of the traveler and add large economic values to the regions traversed by the roads, the work serves an additional purpose in giving expression to the spirit of our people, their feeling for the out-of-doors - for the hills, valleys and mountain ranges of this state. For these roads will not merely carry the traffic load of trade, binding city to city, but ably planned and adorned they will be silvan threads worthy to join the wonderlands of California each to each and these in turn with the centers of population. In this manner such work will give a visible sign of the mental attitude and Spirit of the Californians. Willis Linn Jepson. University of California, June 18, 1921.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fruit Trees and Plants, Nut Trees, Shade Trees, Evergreens, Shrubs, Roses One of the constant aims of the J. Van Lindley Nursery Company is to hold fast to the deservedly worthy trees and plants, while accepting those new introductions that can be depended on to be worth while. This involves a pretty difficult problem - it means keeping out of the rut of clinging to the older varieties without giving the new ones a trial. On the other hand, it makes it necessary to recommend these more recent introductions with care never, in any case, without proving them by trial and comparison to be worthy of our patrons' confidence. Though a hard task, we believe we are equal to it; we are sure a glance over the following pages will bear us out. Here will be found in the various departments, numerous old reliable standards, just as many as we have found to be really valuable and adapted to our climate. Here, too, you will see many of the new introductions - and you may rest assured, in every case, that we know these to be all right. We have a favorable soil and climate, and superior facilities in the way of skilled workers and modern equipment, to produce high-grade plants and trees. Experienced growers have long ago learned that it pays to buy for qual ity, even when necessary to pay a little more for it than to accept inferior stock; and we have hundreds of regular customers on our books - farmers and fruit growers in high standing in their communities - who will gladly testify to the excellence of the stock we supply. In most cases, Lindley trees and plants cost practically the same as stock of inferior or uncertain quality; but even when it costs more, ours is invariably worth far more than the difference, because of the strong, vigorous growth it makes and because of What it produces, which is the thing that counts. Lindley trees are of known pedigree and are well-grown - have plenty of good roots; they make a sturdy growth from the first season. Our fruit trees bear profitable crops and our ornamentals commence early to make an effective display. There are many other features that go to make Lindley trees and plants especially desirable, but this will help to explain Why ours are espe cially worth while - and abundantly worth what we ask for them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of Fruit and Shade Trees, Ornamental Plants and Roses, 1886 The regular shipping season commences with the first rains, usually about the first of November, and closes about the first of April. It is not safe to delay planting orchards in this State later than February, yet in some seasons trees will do well if planted later. By the first of April most trees and plants are too far advanced to transplant safely. Special express rates. It is always better to have trees and plants shipped by express, unless the amount of stock ordered is large. The Wells, Fargo Express Company carry my trees and plants on all their lines at special low rates; by this reduction packages weighing less than one hundred pounds are generally delivered anywhere in the United States, and often to foreign countries, for less than by freight, besides always going more safely and speedily.
