Building a setting of Nature around a home so naturally it appears to have all grown up together, is a fine 

 art. The result is a charming home which gives us that rare pleasure, contentment. The 

 picture shows specimen Evergreens from Lovett's Nursery. 



EVERGREENS-/or Year Around Beauty 



EVERGREENS are always in favor for landscape work, their different colored foli- 

 age making a strong background for the brilliant colors of summer, but it is in the 

 winter, when the landscape is barren of color and foliage, that they are most ap- 

 preciated. 



Our conifers are grown in the most careful and scientific manner, insuring a strong, 

 fibrous root growth. Trees grown and cared for in this careful way can invariably be 

 depended upon to produce satisfactory results if planted with even ordinary care, while 

 carelessly grown and carelessly handled Evergreens are expensive even when offered 

 at prices which appear to be ridiculously low. 



Do not let the sun or wind strike the roots of evergreens, even for a few minutes; 

 you will kill them if you do. Every conifer offered in this catalog, unless otherwise 

 stated, is taken from the field with the roots securely enclosed in a ball of earth and this 

 bound on with a piece of burlap. The roots are never exposed. 



ARBOR VITAE (Thuya)
