EVERGREEN TREES. 
A class of indispensable trees for parks, private and public grounds, possessing 
varied characteristics of growth, form and coloring of foliage, and adapted to a variety 
of soils. They are particularly valuable for ornamental planting, since they are always 
objects of beauty, summer and winter alike, giving special charm to our landscape 
when deciduous trees are leafless. 
HINTS FOR PLANTING. 
The better Evegreens will be received from the nursery with balls of earth wrapped 
in burlap about the roots. If these arc dry when received it is well to thoroughly 
moisten before unwrapping. The burlap should be removed, also a little of the soil, 
giving the roots free access to the soil in which the tree is planted. Care is necessary in 
planting Evergreens to see that the soil is not dry. A good soaking of water at the time 
is generally advisable and to ensure a healthy growth watchfulness in this connection is 
essential. With these additions the general planting hints on page 6 may be followed.
