Handling of Evergreens 
In the handling of Evergreens, never allow the roots to become dry. Their 
sap is resinous and once hardened no amount of moisture will dissolve. Dip 
the roots in thin mud as soon as unpacked and leave them there until setting 
out. Deciduous trees require the same treatment but will not dry out so 
quickly. Use plenty of water when planting—thorough watering and alternate 
time thorough cultivation after planting; every ten days until trees are well 
established. 
We prepare trees for shipment immediately after being dug up. The roots 
are dipped in a composition of clay and water, then packed in damp moss and 
rolled firm with kraft paper, leaving the tops free and excluding air from the 
roots. The bundle is then wrapped with burlap, well tied and securely sewed, 
making a neat bundle--not too heavy to ship by express, same being prefer¬ 
able. Will not use other modes of transportation unless ordered by purchaser. 
Transplanted Evergreens can be taken up with ball of earth attached and 
can be wrapped with spaghnum moss and cotton twine; to be planted with 
twine and moss intact. Moss is beneficial for tree growth, absorbing and stor¬ 
ing surplus moisture to be taken up by tree as needed. Trees will grow more 
rapidly and luxuriantly than if planted in the ordinary way. (Trees wrapped 
as above, 20c per tree extra.) 
Deciduous Trees 
We can furnish a description on request. Many of the kinds are well known; 
all of them have a part to fill in reforesting. Mixed with the evergreen vari¬ 
eties, as found growing in our native forests, both kinds seem to thrive well, 
and in late autumn the different colors and many hues of the deciduous trees 
mingle in contrast with the lighter and darker shades of the evergreens and 
create a pleasing scene not likely to be surpassed in beauty.
