THE LAKETON NURSERIES 
HARDY EVERGREENS 
The Evergreen has vouchsafed man in order to give him to un¬ 
derstand more fully the Eternal promise of life, everlasting. Ever¬ 
greens typify permanency, defy time and the elements. In the bleak 
Northern winters the Evergreen stands out in the landscape, fresh 
green, and full of cheer. An Evergreen must not have its roots 
exposed to the sun or wind not even a minute. For this reason large 
sized trees are dug with a ball of dirt left with the roots and a bur¬ 
lap cloth sewed tightly about it. On smaller sizes of trees we are 
able to mud the rootsi heavily and cover with wet moss and cloth.

NORWAY SPRUCE —The best all-around evergreen. The ideal tree 
for wind breaks. Its close compact growth forms an almost im¬ 
penetrable barrier to the frigid storms of winter. Norway Spruce 
deserves to be largely planted on all farms around orchards, barn 
and cattleyards, poultry-houses and grounds, and wherever protec¬ 
tion from cold and storms is needed. At the same time, Norway 
Spruce is one of our choicest evergreens for ornamental planting.
