Excerpt from Trees for Long Island
This is a different nursery. It fills a wider range of landscape needs. It saves more years of your lifetime. It offers trees which more accurately fit the requirements of your soil and climate.
Over fifty years ago the Westbury Nurseries were founded by Isaac Hicks. The constant aim has been to fit Long Island, recognizing its marked difference from the mainland in geology, soil, drainage, ocean influence, humidity, severe winds, drought, peculiar agricultural and suburban conditions.
Our Nurseries may be reached by the good stone and gravel roads for which Nassau county is famous. Westbury station is twenty-two miles from Long Island City on the main line of the Long Island railroad. It has over twenty trains per day. Many visit our Nurseries by taking a hack from Mineola, with forty-three trains per day, whereby a half-day trip can be easily arranged. Mineola has lines of trolley to Roslyn and Port Washington, to Hyde Park and Jamaica, to Hempstead, thence in two directions to Queens and Jamaica, and to Freeport, Lynbrook. Rockville Center, Valley Stream and Jamaica.
Planting Seasons. The spring season commences about March I to 10, when the frost is nearly out of the ground. For deciduous trees and shrubs it continues to about May 10, but many trees and shrubs can be moved later than that by stripping off the foliage or by taking them with a ball of earth. Evergreen trees can be moved in the spring and during May and June, because they are taken with a ball of earth. For evergreens, August and September arc also excellent months, a fact but little known, but which should be widely utilized, as it enables many to plant who cannot get all accomplished in the spring. Large evergreens, 8 to 40 feet high, arc safely moved with balls of earth any week in the year. (See, also, evergreens, page 29.)
Hardv flowers can be planted in spring, and we have no trouble in making them live, even after they have started growth in May and June, for they are taken up with a good-sized.mass of earth on the roots. September and October arc excellent months for planting these hardy flowers, as they get well established before winter.
Deciduous trees are moved in the autumn, from the time the leaves ripen in September until hard freezing of the ground in late December or January. A month can be added to the usual planting season by starting in September and stripping off the leaves. It makes no difference whether the foliage is stripped off by hand, or whether it is taken off a few weeks later by the frost. The moving of deciduous trees can continue all winter by mulching the trees and the sites to keep out the frost.
Fall planting is not advised with Magnolias, Tulip, Liquidambar, and a few other varieties, unless they have balls of earth. The reason is that some have soft, spongy bark on the roots, which decays unless the ground is warm as in April, so that new growth can take place immediately.
Kindly remember this: The time of the year for transplanting is not one-tenth as important as people imagine it. Permanent fitting of trees to the conditions is the most important. We attend to both.
Tree-Planting, Tree-Moving, Spraying and Pruning. We furnish competent foremen and men for various kinds of horticultural work on Long Island and elsewhere. We wish to limit it mostly to planting stock from our Nursery and to moving large trees.
