ROSTER'S BLUE SPRUCE 
EVERGREENS 
gladly furnish all information as to how to plant and care 
" ® for Evergreens, Shrubs, Trees and Perennials. Always pro¬ 
tect roots with damp material on arrival, to keep the wind and 
sun from reaching same. Be careful in watering, as many a plant 
is killed by giving too much water, especially perennials. During 
a dry period, give Evergreens, Shrubs and Trees a thorough soak¬ 
ing once a week, after planting, for four or five weeks in succes¬ 
sion. Let nature do the rest, hut do as much cultivating as pos¬ 
sible, especially the day after rain or the watering. Do not water 
as long as your soil is moist. For winter protection, especially 
newly planted evergreens and perennials, it is advisable to use 
straw manure or salt hay as a ground covering after the ground 
freezes, the idea being to prevent frequent thawing and freezing. 
In comparing prices on Evergreens, the height alone cannot 
definitely establish their values. Example: Two plants of the 
same variety may be exactly the same in height, but in width and 
compactness one may greatly exceed the other, and in conse¬ 
quence have a greater value. When making comparisons with 
other stock in the market, do not compare prices only. Be sure 
you are buying the best strains of evergreens and other plants, 
true to name, properly transplanted and cultivated in our nursery 
to insure a good root system.
