EVERGREENS, continued 



Evergreen roots can stand but little exposure to the sun and air; therefore, 

 if not ready to plant them when received, they should be heeled in the ground at 

 once and given a good drenching of water. If not shipped with a ball of earth, 

 they should be puddled well before heeling-in or planting. Make a puddle of 

 water and soil in a tub, stir well until it is the thickness of cream, then dip the 

 roots well in this mixture. 



Burlaped Roots. When the roots of evergreen trees and shrubs are well 

 balled and wrapped with burlap by the nurseryman, it is usually best not to 

 remove this wrapping, but to soak the ball in water a few minutes and plant 

 the tree with ball and burlap intact, cutting the tying cords before filling the hole. 



PARCEL POST: We do not ship evergreen trees by parcel post. 

 ALL EVERGREENS BALLED AND BURLAPED WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE 



The Arborvitaes 



Useful evergreen trees, quite different in appearance from any of the pines 

 and spruces. The foliage, or "leaves," is flattish instead of needle-like, and has 

 a tendency to set on edge, especially with certain varieties. None of the Arbor- 

 vitaes gets very large, and all, excepting Western, are slow growers. This makes 

 them valuable where space is limited and you want the trees to stay small. The 

 odd shapes and colors of some of the varieties make them especially well adapted 

 for planting where they stand alone. They make wonderful hedges, and rarely 

 do we find a planting of any size where some variety is not used for this purpose. 

 The tall and dwarf varieties are adapted to many places. We have given special 

 care to the trees offered; you cannot find better specimens at any price.
