— THE AD MAN — 
Sturdy 
Evergreens 
With Plenty 
of 
Backbone 
And An 
Abundance 
of Strong 
Fibrous 
Roots 
W HEN we say that “Bay 
State stock is dependable,” 
we’ve summed up the whole 
story in five words. Our long, rigor- 
ous New England Winters naturally 
cullouttheweaklingsfrom our stock. 
You can absolutely depend upon the 
evergreen plants that survive trans- 
planting several times here for sure 
success in your own transplanting. 
Evergreens are coming into their 
own nowadays. People are more 
and more appreciating the hun- 
dred-and-one pleasing possibilities 
of this all-year-round planting that 
cheeij and beautifies, in Winter as 
well as Summer. 
When wisely selected and judi- 
ciously arranged or grouped, ever- 
greens will give a touch of delightful 
charm and dignity to the home 
grounds that nothing else can quite 
supply. 
If in need of evergreens send us 
^ your list of requirements, 
j stating sizes desired, and 
we will immediately quote 
you attractive prices. 
.A/ Of narrow leaf ever- 
greens — Junipers, Spruces, 
Pines, Yews, etc., we have 
over seventy-five varieties 
with shapely tops and 
strong, vigorous root sys- 
tems. They range from 
I - the natty little dwarf va- 
TRs^B: 
rieties to the big, tall kinds. Sizes 
and shapes aplenty to fill every 
conceivable requirement and suit 
every taste. 
Of the broad leaf evergreens, we 
have Rhododendrons in thirty or 
more varieties, Andromedas,Euony- 
mus, Kalmias, etc. 
It has been proven over and 
over again that the Fall is a favor- 
able time to plant both broad and 
narrow leaf evergreens. For one 
thing, it gives plants a chance to 
get a good, strong root-grip on the 
soil; and early next Spring they’ll 
start right in and make much bet- 
ter growth than when planted in 
the Spring. 
There’s also no time like the 
Fall for planting Perennials. Plant 
in the Fall and throw a light cover- 
ing of hay over them the last of 
November, and next season they’ll 
start right in blooming as if they’d 
been there on your grounds 
for years. We have acres 
of Perennials in hundreds 
of varieties. 
Our illustrated cata- 
logue lists and describes 
all our varieties of ever- 
greens and perennials. 
Making your selection 
will be an easy matter 
with it before you. It’s 
yours for the asking.
