Select Evergreens 
The following are the best sorts of Evergreens to plant in this part of the 
state for shelter belts and ornament. There is nothing which will add more 
to the value of a farm or more comfort to the home than a well arranged 
plantation of Evergreens. Their shade is cool and refreshing in summer, and 
a belt of them is the greatest barrier against winter blasts which can be 
provided. Our Evergreens have been two and three times transplanted, are 
heavy-rooted and stocky, thrifty plants. 
How to Plant and Care for Evergreens 
SOIL — Any soil that will grow 'corn and garden vegetables is suitable for 
Evergreens. 
PLANTING — Dig holes large, so that roots are not crowded, using top soil 
in bottom of hole and also arranging the roots carefully, working the fine 
soil around and among the roots with your hand. Shake the tree occasion- 
ally as the filling is going on, to settle the soil, at the same time raising 
the tree to the desired depth. When the roots are well covered, hold the 
tree upright and firm while you tread the soil very firmly around the tree 
with the feet. When this is done you have a basin or hole around the tree 
that will hold one-half to a pail full of water, according to size of tree. 
Fill this basin with water, after it is all soaked away — say in half an hour — 
fill the basin with good mellow soil which must be left loose and not 
tramped. Take your tree to place of planting well covered with wet moss 
and blankets, dipping each root in a barrel or bucket of water just before 
placing in hole. 
WATERING — The month of August is the most critical time for newly planted 
Evergreens, for during this month, unlike deciduous trees. Evergreens make 
a new root growth, therefore require moisture. If rains have not been 
plenty the trees should be watered. Make a basin around each tree by 
pulling away the soil with a hoe and water exactly as described above in 
article No. 2. If the season is dry, this watering should commence the lat- 
ter part of July: repeating every two weeks until it rains. 
CULTIVATION — Good cultivation is very essential. No vegetation appreciates 
good cultivation better than trees, which can be done by hoe or horse cul- 
tivator, twice a week up to August 1st, when a good mulch of partly rotted 
hay or straw should be given. Never mulch with green manure. 
SEEDLINGS — Seedling Evergreens, the largest sizes, should he planted and 
treated as above; small sizes should be planted in well prepared . beds with 
dibble and shaded the first season.

Vitaes, single row, 4 to 6 feet; double row, 10 feet. Scotch and Austrian 
Pines, single row, 8 feet; douhle row, 10 to 12 feet. White pine, single ro>v,

WHITE PINE — (Plnns Strobns) — One of the best Evergreens. Foliage Is a 
warm light green, often with a bluish tinge. The leaves in fives, three or 
four inches long, soft and delicately fragrant. It does not grow so rapidly 
the first few years as some, but after being planted two or three years, it 
is the most rapid grower of all Evergreens. It accommodates itself to a 
great variety of soils; it is one of the best for shelter, the best large grow- 
ing Evergreen to plant near buildings or along streets to be trimmed up 
for shade. But few, if any other trees unite so many elements of beauty 
and utility as our native White Pine.
