Hardy Evergreens 



In handling and planting evergreens never allow the roots to become dry for 

 an instant. Their juices are resinous, and when once dry, water has no power to 

 restore them; dip the roots in "grout" or very thin mud, and plant quickly; cover 

 the roots with fresh soil and with a heavy piece of wood beat the earth solid over 

 them. Fill up and pound again, and finish by bringing fresh loose earth about the 

 tree with a hoe. No wind can now bend the tree about so as to break the tender 

 rootlets as fast as formed. Never remove ball earth from evergreens in planting, 

 just loosen canvas at top and plant it. The canvas soon decays. Use Scotch Pine, 

 White Spruce, Norway Spruce, and White Pine for high screens, and Arbor Vitae or 

 Red Cedar for low ones. 



Our evergreens are given special care, handled carefully and transplanted fre- 

 quently, so there is no danger in moving them from* our nurseries. Each tree is 

 planted so that it grows symmetrically and develops into a shapely specimen. 



ARBOR VITAE (American)— This plant is, all 

 things considered, the finest evergreen for 

 hedges. It is very hardy and easily trans- 

 planted, few plants failing if properly handled. 

 It grows rapidly and with little care, or rath- 

 er by easy management, it soon forms a 

 most beautiful hedge, very dense and per- 

 fectly impervious to the sight. It is never 

 planted to turn stock, but it forms a most 

 desirable and ornamental screen to divide 

 the lawn from other grounds. 18-24 inch $2.00 

 Each; 2-3 ft. $2.50 Each. 



ARBOR VITAE (Pyramidalis)— A superb, 

 new and hardy sort, of very compact habit; 

 much better than the Irish Juniper, and 

 grown in a perfect column. Largely planted 

 in cemeteries, owing to the small amount of 

 space it occupies. This is perhaps the most 

 valuable Arbor Vitae in cultivation. 18-24 

 inch $2.50 Each; 24-30 inch $3.00 Each. 



GLOBE ARBOR VITAE (Thuya Globosa)— A 

 perfect globe when well grown, the spread 

 usually equaling the height. Foliage of light 

 green. 12-18 inch S2.50 Each.
