THE AMAWALK NURSERY Introduction HE Amawalk Nursery was established eighteen years ago for the purpose of producing specimen deciduous and evergreen trees. By specimen trees we mean trees that are practically perfect; that will be useful and ornamental from the beginning; and, properly planted, will develop rapidly and increase in beauty as they grow older. The location for our Nursery was most carefully selected. Amawalk is situated among the hills of Westchester County, thirty miles north of New York City. We are in the midst of the estate country located between Long Island Sound and the Hudson River. There are no manufacturing towns in this part of the country, and our air is consequently free from smoke and gasses — an im- portant factor in the development of evergreens. The Amawalk Nursery comprises nearly 300 acres of the most fertile land in this part of the country. On the hills in our Nursery we have light, dry soils and exposed situations, and in the low lands, rich, heavy ground and sheltered locations. Owing to these exposures and 3 AMAWALK NURSERY soils we are enabled to grow each kind of tree under the conditions most favorable to its development. As our winters are unusually severe, we are limited to growing only those varieties which we have proved to be absolutely hardy. It is our prac- tice to discontinue growing any variety of tree which will not stand our most severe winters, such as the London Plane ( Platanus Orientalis) and numerous varieties of fancy evergreens. We are naturally anxious to include for the benefit of our customers, as many varieties as possible, but our practice always has been never to offer for sale any tree that we are not convinced will thrive and reach its full devel- opment when transplanted to a park or private estate. Our severe winter climate, however, has enabled us to develop trees of greater strength and vitality than are usually obtainable in a milder climate. The preliminary care of the ground before the young trees are planted is ex- tremely important. At Amawalk the ground is thoroughly prepared by deep ploughing and fertilization, and after the trees are planted they are constantly cultivated from May until September. This stirring up of the ground not only prevents the growth of weeds, but greatly increases the activity of the young roots. Our trees are planted unusually far apart, and as they grow are frequently root pruned and transplanted. Experts prune off imperfect or badly formed branches, and otherwise correct any inclination toward crookedness or ugliness. Thus cared for, our trees develop rapidly and experience the minimum setback after trans- planting. In 1903 the first small trees were planted at Amawalk, the finest stock obtain- able. This high standard has been consistently maintained ever since. We never plant or keep a tree in our Nursery that is not perfect in every respect, as poor, un- healthy trees will never develop into fine, large specimens. In 1909 the first Amawalk trees were offered for sale. Each year our trees are developing into finer and larger specimens, receiving our constant care and atten- tion preparatory for their final transplanting. In this catalogue for 1921 every tree listed has been growing in our Nursery for from five to eighteen years. We are always pleased to have our customers visit the Nursery and select by tagging their own trees. When this is not convenient, we make our best selection for them. No order is dug until just before the trees are to leave the Nursery. If the trees are to be delivered by truck, they are dug in the morning, loaded on the truck in the afternoon, and delivered as early as possible the next morning. When the order is to be shipped by freight, the trees are not dug until the freight car is in on our siding. The greatest care is taken in the digging and handling of our trees, so as not to injure either the root system or the branches. Our most experienced men are in charge of the digging, the balling and the loading of the trees. In loading a truck. 4 AMAWALK NURSERY C> the number of trees, sizes and varieties are considered in order to obtain a well balanced load and insure the delivery of all the trees in good condition. Whenever we have several small orders to be delivered by truck in one neighborhood, we make the deliveries in one load, thereby reducing the delivery charge for our cus- tomers. In loading a freight car, the trees are placed in the car as soon as they are dug; the roots are then covered with straw and soaked with water. This is to prevent the roots from drying out. The trees are placed in the car in such a way as to facilitate the unloading, and we send, whenever desired, instructions for the unloading of each car. Owing to our location on the Putnam branch of the New York Central Rail- road we are able to obtain the large double-door, end-door automobile freight cars that come to New York City from the West. These cars are routed back empty and are easy for us to obtain. Another advantage of our location on the Putnam Railroad is that our freight shipments to the North, South, East and West do not have to be routed through New York City. Our shipments to the West make Albany the second day after leaving Amawalk. We send to each customer upon request a booklet containing full information and illustrations on the planting and after care of trees. For abbreviated instruc- tions in planting see pages 38 to 40 of this catalogue. We have had a great deal of experience in the proper selection of trees to be planted, which includes the consideration of the soil conditions and exposure to winds and sunlight, and their effect upon the different varieties. This experience we place at the command of our customers. Through a method of inspection of all trees planted within calling distance of our Nursery, we are in touch with the condition of each tree we send out and give advice in regard to its care. These inspections are made periodically, and a record is kept in our office. To those customers who live too far from our Nursery to get the benefit of this service we give our best advice by letter, and endeavor to have a representative inspect their trees at least once or twice a year. It is our desire to reach the point where every tree that we send out not only lives, but thrives, and we are anxious to co-operate with our customers to this end, and to obtain for them at an early date the full beauty and development of their trees. 5 THE FOLLOWING PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN AT THE AMAWALK NURSERY Norway Maple, nine inch caliper, thirty-three feet high, 6 American Pin Oak, eight inch caliper, thirty feet high. 8 Like the Beech, the Oaks hold most of their leaves during the winter. 9 Typical Amawalk Norway Maples, eight inch caliper, thirty feet high.

Sixty-eight trees were planted, all of which have done well. 24 A memorial planting of Amawalk Red Oaks in New York City in 1920. 25 A M A W A L K NURSERY Prices, Delivery and Guarantee LL the trees listed in this catalogue measure up to the highest requirements of specimen trees. No inferior trees are offered for sale. The yearly output of the Amawalk Nursery is about 10,000 Specimen Deciduous and Evergreen Trees. To pro- duce that number, we have growing about 250,000 trees of all sizes. As none but specimens are sold, customers are allowed to select by tagging any tree growing in our Nursery at the catalogue price for its variety and size. The price per tree is the same regardless of the quantity ordered. The catalogue price of our trees includes their proper digging, balling where necessary, and loading on trucks or in freight cars. All evergreens and certain deciduous trees (such as Beech, Dogwoods, and Hawthorns ) are dug vdth a ball of earth. The balls of smaller sizes are secured with burlap, and the larger sizes with a canvas bag and wooden platform. This insures the least possible disturbance of the roots. The prices in this catalogue are f. o. b. Amawalk. Deliveries can be made by freight, express or motor truck. For freight shipment the cars are packed on our own siding. For less than car-load shipments, packing is charged for at cost. For delivery by motor truck, cost price only is charged, this charge being based upon the size of the load and the distance it has to go. We guarantee that every tree leaving our Nursery is in the best condition obtainable by scientific care and handling. If correctly planted in suitable locations, and given adequate attention thereafter, they will live. As we have obviously no control over the treatment our trees receive after leaving our hands, we do not guarantee that they will live. To do so would mean increased prices and would place an unnecessary burden on those customers whose trees are properly cared for. However, to accommodate those purchasers who prefer their trees insured, we will for a pre-arranged premium agree to re-supply f. o. b. Amawalk any tree which fails to live. We are anxious to co-operate with our customers in making their planting a permanent success and will advise them about the care of their trees, either by letter or personal call, without cost. 26 AMAWALK NURSERY Deciduous Trees Namely, those that yearly drop their leaves Beech — Fagus EUROPEAN. Fagus Sylvatica The time is coming when the value of the European Beech will be as greatly appre- ciated in this country as it now is in England, where it is one of the favorite trees for lawn and hedge planting. As a specimen it forms a large and majestic tree, with branches growing to the ground, in contrast to the maples, oaks and other high branched trees. For hedge planting it has no equal, making a beautiful, permanent and impenetrable bar- rier. The old leaves remain until they are forced off by the new ones in the spring, and it is therefore as useful as the evergreens for a screen during the winter.

In the locality of Amawalk, deciduous trees can usually be transplanted from the end of March until the middle of May, and evergreens until the first of June. Evergreens can again be transplanted during August and September, as their roots make a ! second growth at that time. ! The fall planting season occurs when the trees become dormant, usually about the end of j October, and lasts until about the first of December when the ground freezes. All evergreens and j most deciduous trees can be planted at that time. j The more tender varieties of evergreens should be protected during the first winter. All of I the deciduous trees listed in our catalogue may be transplanted in the fall except the Birches, j Silver IMaples, Scarlet Maples and Tulips. ! All trees should be planted as soon as received. It is very important that the roots should not dry out by exposure to air or heat. ! Evergreens and some varieties of deciduous trees are shipped with a ball of earth burlapped I around their roots, which should be kept moist until the tree is planted. Great care should be taken in planting. i 39 AMAWALK NURSERY The holes for the trees should be large enough to allow the roots to spread out to their fullest extent. Trees must be planted at the exact depth at which they grew. This is shown by the mark of the soil around the trunk. If the ground is not fertile, good soil should be secured to fill in the holes. When this is not necessary, the top soil, being richer than the sub-soil, should be put in first. The dirt in the hole must be firmly packed down, so that the tree will not work loose. W'hen trees are planted in exposed situations they must be guyed to hold them firmly in place until their roots become established. Trees need to be thoroughly watered when planted, and regularly thereafter. Once or twice a week is often enough, but plenty of water should be used. It is well to remember that the roots of trees are comparatively deep in the ground, differing from plants, and the whole root area must be thoroughly soaked with water to insure successful planting. If the planting is done in dry ground, only sufficient earth should be put in the hole to cover the roots. Then water should be poured in and the soaked earth allowed to settle before the hole is filled up. This particularly applies to evergreens. Cultivation of the ground around the trees after they are planted is very important. The soil should be worked with a hoe at least once a week to keep the ground from becoming hard. This allows air and moisture to reach the roots. The Amawalk Nursery has prepared an illustrated booklet giving detailed instructions in the planting and after care of trees. This booklet is sent to each customer before their order is shipped, and will be forwarded to any one upon request. Press of The Kalkhoff Company, New York ?T^- - :..
