Evergreens 
The Linn County Nurseries 
EVERGREENS FOR WINDBREAKS AND HEDGES 
All evergreens we offer are dug fresh as sent out. If the buyer comes to the 
Nursery after them, which is the best way to do, they can be lifted directly from 
the row to his truck or trailer and have a minimum of exposure. This is very im¬ 
portant. If the roots of evergreens once become thoroughly dry in handling or 
planting they cannot be revived, as can other trees. Failure in transplanting them 
is largely due to allowing them to become dry while planting, to not packing good, 
mellow, moist soil, and that only, very firmly around the roots, or to not properly 
conserving moisture about them through the summer by frequent shallow cultivation 
or by mulching., 
SPACING. For single row windbreaks plant Pines and Spruces 7 to 8 feet 
apart, and Arborvitae 4 to 6; for double rows of Pines or Spruces 10 to 12 feet. For 
low hedges plant 18 to 24 inches apart, depending on the size of the plants. 
SOILS. Plant Pines on dry or well drained soil. The Bull Pine will do well on 
very gravelly soil. In places where it is quite wet at times, Spruce will be better, 
and in very wet places, Arborvitae is the best. 
PESTS. Red Spider or Mite causes much damage during a drouth in the grow¬ 
ing season. A rusty appearance is likely to be due to it. Water applied under a 
high pressure to the tops every few days is an effective remedy. Pine Needle Scale 
is found almost everywhere and sometimes becomes a serious pest. White spots on 
the leaves of pine or spruce are likely due to it. Both this and Red Spider can be 
controlled by a single thorough spraying with Lime Sulphur such as orcliardists use, 
in the regular dormant strength (1 to 8 of water) applied warm days in spring be¬ 
fore the new growth starts. Soluble oil sprays also are effective, but must be used 
with much caution. 
PRICES in this section are for unsheared trees and do not include Ball and 
Burlap; if wanted that way, the expense of making it and the cost of handling the 
additional weight must be added. Each N represents one transplanting. 
ARBORVITAE—American, Thuja 
occidentalis, 15 to 30 ft. 
A native of the North, preferring a 
moist, cool soil and enduring partial 
shade. Exposed east to west rows 
may sunburn in winter. 
FIR—Douglass, 60 to 80 ft. 
A rapid growing, very beautiful tree. 
It starts growth early and grows late, 
so is sometimes caught by frost and 
kept irregular in shape while small. 
PINE—Bull, Pinus ponderosa, Western 
Yellow Pine, 50 to 80 ft. 
A native of the Black Hills, with very 
long needles and stout branches, not 
broken by heavy sleet or storms. Ex¬ 
tremely drouth-resistant. 
— Scotch, 40 to 50 ft. _ 
Easier to transplant than others and 
more rapid growing while young; 
makes a wide-spreading tree with 
yellow-red scaling bark.
