EVERGREENS 
Evergreens 
Tne evergreens constitute a group of plants which are most valued for 
landscape effect. A wide diversity of color and habit of growth render 
them particularly useful for limited areas of foundation plantings or for 
bed or border uses, others for screens, hedges, windbreaks, and for group 
and specimen plantings. They are always desirable for any landscape plant¬ 
ing for both Summer and Winter effects. 
All our evergreens have been transplanted at regular intervals and have 
developed a mass of fine, fibrous roots. The ideal condition of our soil and 
our extensive cultivation makes it possible for us to produce the finest quality 
of stock at reasonable prices. Our assortment of evergreens, as you will note, 
contains many of the choice and scarce varieties. You are cordially invited 
to come to our nursery where you may make your selection from our hun¬ 
dreds of fine specimen trees. 
Evergreens may be successfully transplanted from the time the frost leaves 
the ground until the end of June. The Autumn and Fall is also an excellent 
time to move evergreens. The culture of these trees is very simple. Keep the 
soil well cultivated to prevent the ground from baking and drying out. 
Beward of the use of commercial fertilizer. Peat moss, humus, or well rotted 
manure is much more beneficial. See to it that the trees have sufficient water 
after they are planted and especially during the hot and dry Summer months. 
A light mulch of humus, peat moss or old straw or hay is very beneficial 
during the Winter months.
