EVERGREEN TREES 
A class of indispensable trees for parks, private and public grounds, pos- 
sessing 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 Evergreens will be received from the nursery with balls of 
earth wrapped in burlap about the roots. If these are dry when received it is 
well to thoroughly moisten before unwrapping. The burlap should be re- 
moved, 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.
