— ^ugust and September are the Most Successful Months 
\ycf\ for Planting Rhododendrons and Specimen 
Evergreens and Azaleas 
A Price List of KELSEY'S 
Specimen Evergreens, Rhododendrons and Azaleas at Boxford Nursery 
When August Comes Rhododendrons, Azaleas, The Mountain r,aurc], Leucothop, Andromeda and the conifers 
such as Hemlocks, Pines, Firs, Spruces, Junipers, etc., have made their annual top growth, which is by now fairly well ripened 
up, and during August and September the energy of the plant is devoted to ROOT GROWTH, preparing it for the succeeding 
year's round of flower, fruit and top growth. 
Almost a Year's Growth May Be Earned by August and September planting over waiting till spring, for 
the plant becomes well established with its root system in the new location, and the proper physical contact with the soil in- 
sured; there is no check in growth the next season as is almost always the case in Spring Planting, when it takes a long time for the 
Evergreen to "get ready" for its season's business. 
Spring Planting is All Bight if properly done, yet under the best of conditions the results do not equal those 
of planting done the previous AUGUST and SEPTEMBER, and you get the benefit of the landscape effect six to eight 
months in advance. 
At The S ummer Borne August and September are the ideal months for Evergreen planting. It is often incon- 
venient or even impossible to txet away 'a th*- busy spnng mo"tb<^, while in lat* surs^ierthe matter ma" hcr.JIed conveniently 
and with pleasure during vacation, and you see the planting being done. 
Cost. The cheapest is rarely the best or least expensive. Cheap planting usually means careless planting and a poor 
grade of plants. At Boxford Nursery all specimen Rhododendrons, Mountain Laurel, Hemlocks, and other Evergreens are 
dug with heavy BAIJ^S, and if desired delivered by auto truck and planted by experts. To properly grow "specimen" stock 
costs in time, labor and land, but it is the only way to get real results.
