Hardy Evergreens and 
Nursery Stock 
NO HOME. HOWEVER BEAUTIFUL, IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THE 
PLANTING OF SOME nursery stock on the grounds. The principles of proper 
planting: of nursery stock are not hard to master. Shrubs should be planted in 
the corner and bordered according: to height, so that all of them may be seen 
land create a symmetrical effect. Those plants should be chosen which bloom 
at different seasons, so that the effect will always be pleasing to the eye. No 
(other investment brings greater returns — no decoration accords greater satis- 
faction than the surrounding of the home with beautiful shrubs and trees. We 
are in a position to supply anything in the Nursery or Landscape Lines. As 
!this is a Seed Catalogue, space does not permit the listing of many of the varieties 
iwe handle. To those who are interested we will gladly furnish a special price 
list pertaining to this department, and stand ready to assist you in your planning 
and answer special inquiries as to your needs, at all times. 
EVERGREENS 
Among all classes of nursery stock the 
evergreen is the most perishable, and hence 
special care must be exercised in trans- 
planting them. If the following two rules 
are observed it can be as successfully ac- 
complished as with any other class. All of 
these offered have been transplanted one or 
more times and are fine, stocky trees. Sure 
to grow with reasonable care. All of our 
evergreens come direct from the field for 
each order. They are carefully packed and 
guaranteed to reach you in good growing 
condition. 
"When received, wet the roots but not the 
tops, and heel in some moist, shady spot. 
When ready to plant make a thin mud in a 
pail or tub, dip roots in or keep in until 
planted. Absolutely prevent the drying of 
the roots. Firm ground well as planted, 
and keep well cultivated. Seedlings should 
be lined out about 6 inches apart in a row 
in the garden and given good culture for 
about three years before setting in their 
permanent place. For windbreak plant 8 
to 12 feet apart each way, so as to alter- 
nate if two rows.

EARTH. When requested we will burlap
