EVERGREENS AND CONIFERS 
Planting and Cultural Directions 
No home-grounds are complete without Evergreens, and with the proper selection of Broad-leaved 
Evergreens, such as Rhododendrons, Andromedas, Ilex, Mahonia, etc., a magnificent effect can be created 
for foundation planting, which will increase the value of your property immensely. 
When to Plant. The best time is in early spring, late summer, or early fall. 
Planting. Upon arrival, place plants in cool, shady place and water the balls of earth thoroughly. After this water 
has drained, dig holes for the plants, making them 8 to 10 inches larger in diameter than the size of the ball, and about 
2 inches deeper when planted than it stood in the nursery. Loosen the soil in the bottom of the hole and save the dark 
top-soil for filling in next the roots. If more rich soil is needed than what is taken from the hole, use good garden earth 
mixed with thoroughly rotted manure. 
Without removing the burlap, set the plant in the center of the hole, facing it so that the best side of the top is 
toward the front. Cut the burlap away from the stem and about half-way down the sides of the ball, leaving the rest of 
it in the bottom of the hole. Do not break the ball or expose the roots to the air any more than is absolutely necessary. 
Pack the top-soil or prepared earth around the ball to within 3 inches of the top of the hole. Then fill the remaining 
space with water and let it stand over night. Finish planting the next day, leaving a saucer-like depression about the 
plant to hold rain-water and facilitate artificial watering. 
The After-Care of Evergreens 
The success of an Evergreen planting depends largely upon the manner in which they have been planted and the 
attention they receive during the first few years. 
Watering should be done in late afternoon or evening, by letting the hose run slowly at each plant long enough to 
saturate the ground thoroughly down to the lowest roots. In normal weather once in ten days or two weeks should be 
sufficient, but during hot, dry spells newly planted Evergreens should be watered oftener. 
Evergreens should not be allowed to grow unrestricted, but be kept trimmed back to the desired height and width 
by occasional shearing after growth starts in the spring, but not after July 1. 
Spraying with a combination contact and poisonous mixture once or twice a month during growing season is advisable. 
The value of an Evergreen is not decided by its height alone but also by its general shapeliness and compactness. 
The method of pricing them by their height is for convenience only. Individual specimens, if selected in the Nursery by 
customers, will be priced according to their value, irrespective of the prices mentioned in our Catalogue. 
While prices are at the each rate, we can supply many of the varieties in 100 and 1000 lots. Ask for quantity prices
