Evergreens

Three ways ot delivering evergreens : (i) Without earth on the roots. Root-pruned 
twice where the roots branch out. Dipping in thick mud keeps the roots moist. (2) With 
ball of earth wrapped in burlap. (3) In a box with earth. This keeps roots moist and 
prevents breaking. A thousand or more can be carried in a load this way and be safely 
planted. Nos. i and 2 White Pmes, No. 3 Austrian Pine. 
grass or bushes of an abandoned field, plant in the sprouts of cut-over 
woodland, plant in a private nursery, plant a windbreak or screen on 
your lawn. We will plant them if you wish. Time of year is not impor- 
tant. We have successfully planted evergreens by the thousand in Feb- 
ruary, March, April, May, June, August and September, and the larger 
sizes from October to March. For small pines March, April, May, 
August and September are excellent. Don't forget that evergreens 
can be planted in August and September. It doubles your opportuni- 
ties. Our stock is from Long Island seed and other hardy stock. 
For immediate results we offer White Pine, up to 40 feet in height. 
This is a new and important achievement in tree-moving. We have 
invented a distinct type of tree-mover for this work. For extensive 
plantings of screens and windbreaks we offer White Pines in quantity, 
ic to 20 feet high. 
WHITE, PINE, continued 
if the upper branches are 
shortened from a tower 
wagon. The White Pine 
disease which browns the 
foliage in summer and 
shortens the leaves and 
growth is not contagious. 
It affects only a small per 
cent, not so much as the 
necessary thinning. The 
White Pine does not like 
salt spray. Mix it with 
pitch, Scotch Austrian 
pine, red cedar, white 
spruce and deciduous 
trees when near the sea. 
The White Pine likes the 
company of pine and oak 
and likes the mulch of 
pine needles and the low 
branches which keep the 
frost from the roots and 
let the sap come up all 
winter. 
WHAT TO DO. Order 
a few hundred or thousand 
White Pines, pitch pines, 
Scotch pines, oaks and 
chestnuts. Plant in the 
White Pine 3 feet high
