· WILMETTE LIFE April 1, 1927 rub his eyes in astonishment at the change that is taking place on this meadowland of two years ago. Winding roads invite one to turn to the right and charming ho~ses with an ' individual touch of an Enghsh countryside are springing up. To supplement the scattering of great old native oaks, a record-break ing feat of the nursery man's craft ha ~ been carried out during the last few "·eeks in the setting out of 600 Ameri can elms. Not mere puny saplings, bu t · straight. stalwart trees with trunks R to 9 inches through and standing 40 to ()0 feet in hci!-{ht. The trees are nativt :-, having been grown at the ClaYe~ Nurseries at Deerfield. Trees Well Grown An experienced crew of six men. with truck and tackle, is necessary to handle each tree which, with its huge ball of earth weighs nearly 1,000 pounds. The trees are braced with guy wires to hold each one in plarC' until the ground around the roots ha .packed in solidly and will hold th e tree against wind and storm. And a~ though to celebrate the ' month of April. during which tim t: National Arbor Day comes, a record brea king planting of shrubs and busl11:-.. will start shortly at the Estates. Somt: 20,000 shrubs and hushes have be<'n ordered, including Norway and Colorado spruce. cedars, spirea. barberry, hy~ dranga. and twenty-five other type ~ . manv of them extremely rare and srtected to give the greatest possible variety to the sylvan scenery.
