Hardy Evergreens and Conifers 



We Make No Charge for Packing on Nursery Stock 



I 



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 and remove the 

 burlap carefully, or merely sht it to shreds with a sharp knife. Fill in partly with fine, rich soil, 

 no manure, and then fill the hole with water. Finish filhng 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.
