Hardy Evergreens and Conifers 



We Make No Charge for Packing on Nursery Stock 



Evergreens may be safely planted in spring and again in autumn from August on. They are shipped with the soil on the roots, 

 held firmly in place by burlap. This ball of soil should never be allowed to dry out. The holes should be dug large enough to receive 

 the ball and made rich and friable at the bottom with leaf mold, peat, or very old, decayed manure; fresh manure should not be used 

 in the hole. Set the balled plant in the hole without removing burlap, as this will soon rot away. Fill in partly with fine, rich soil, 

 no manure, and then fill the hole with water. Finish filling with good soil, and water again. Stake the tree firmly to keep it in position 

 against adverse winds, and scatter leaves or straw over the excavation to prevent its drying out. Water the soil thoroughly, frequently. 

 Give it a thorough soaking — do not merely sprinkle the branches. 



Prices much lower — quality better than ever
