EVERGREENS, 



The trees which we offer here are all nursery grown, transplanted stock, 

 tn trans plantiiij? never allow the roots to be exposed to the sun for a single 

 moment. A mulching of straw or leaves willbe found verv beneflcial, especially 

 in dry seasons. Allow them to branch freely near tlie ground. This prevents 

 the soil drying up quickly around the roots and adds to the beauty and 

 •effectiveness of the tree. 



Bvergreeus should be planted at a time when the earth is warm and 

 -they can commence growth immediately. Unlike deciduous trees they 

 never become dormant, but must receive nourishment from the soil at all 

 times, consequently there must be plenty of fine soil about the roots when 

 planting, so that root action may begin at once. Fall or early spring 

 planting is not de.-;irable; the best time for transplanting evergreens is in May 

 or early June, just as the new growth is i-eady to start,
