All snug and ready for winter. This is the proper 

 way to protect evergreens moved in winter 



The straw jacket can be used on standard roses 

 or other plants with bare trunks and which can- 

 not be bent over, laid down and buried. Be careful 

 that field mice cannot find a harbor 



The lower branches of evergreens with the adjoin- 

 ing hedge, and leaves on the ground, make an ideal 

 place for most tender things
