May's Nursery Grown, Reliable Evergreens 
THE MOST generally effective trees that can 
be planted are the evergreens and coni- 
fers for they are only a shade more beau- 
tiful when m^scd against the sparkling 
winter snows, than are they, when their 
darker green blends into the brighter colors 
of the summer landscape. On the hottest 
summer days their shade is cool and spicy, 
and they are an excellent protection against 
the chill, north winds of the winter, when 
planted as windbreaks. They may be used 
to screen off an unsightly barnyard, or 
planted on the lawn to soften a curve in 
the drive. The trees which we offer here 
arc all nursery grown, transplanted stock. 
In transplanting never allow the roots to be 
exposed to the sun for a single moment. 
A mulching of straw or leaves will be very 
beneficial, especially in dry seasons. Allow 
them to branch freely, near the ground.
