We keep a set of account books for each place, and I was amazed not long ago at the increase in value that a few years make in growing things, when we came to remove some young trees from Westchester County to Lakewood, New Jersey.

We plant our young trees, especially evergreens, by the thousand--I think we have put in as many as ten thousand at once, and let them develop, to be used later in some of our planting schemes.

If we transfer young trees from Pocantico to our home in Lakewood, we charge one place and credit the other for these trees at the market rate.

We are our own best customers, and we make a small fortune out of ourselves by selling to our New Jersey place at $1.50 or $2.00 each, trees which originally cost us only five or ten cents at Pocantico.
In nursery stock, as in other things, the advantage of doing things on a large scale reveals itself.

The pleasure and satisfaction of saving and moving large trees--trees, say, from ten to twenty inches in diameter, or even more in some cases--has been for years a source of great interest.
