The Friendly Evergreens 
Evergreens are always in favor for landscape work, 
their different colored foliage making a strong back¬ 
ground for the brilliant colors of summer, but it is in the 
winter, when the landscape is barren of color and foliage 
that they are most appreciated. 
Our conifers are grown in the most careful and scien¬ 
tific manner, insuring a strong fibrous root growth. Trees 
that have not been several times transplanted and be¬ 
come acclimated to our climate are almost sure to die. 
Caution. Do not buy cheap evergreens. Unless they 
have been treated as above stated you will be disap¬ 
pointed with results. 
Do not let the sun or wind strike the roots of ever¬ 
greens even for a few minutes; you will kill them if 
you do. Every conifer offered in this catalog, unless 
otherwise stated, is taken from the field with the roots 
securely closed in a ball of earth and this bound on with 
a piece of burlap. The roots are never exposed.

charming.
