For Year-Round Beauty 
Plant WHITTEN-ACKERMAN Balled and Burlapped Evergreens for im¬ 
mediate effect. They are fine specimens, large enough to make a good show¬ 
ing the first year. 
These trees are dug with a ball of earth around the roots and wrapped 
with burlap, to insure safe transplanting. They are quite heavy, and we have 
found that when more than one balled and burlapped tree is ordered, freight 
shipment is advisable and perfectly safe. Carrying charges are very reason¬ 
able, and we will ship in this manner whenever possible. 
(Picea pungens). The most popular and showy of 
all Spruces. Its silver foliage, glistening in the 
sunlight, creates such a delightful appearance that it surpasses in beauty any other 
evergreen. It is very hardy, a good grower, will withstand severe winters and exces¬ 
sive moisture, and is very easily transplanted. When dormant the tree acquires a some¬ 
what greenish cast, but as soon as the new growth makes its appearance, clothing it 
in a deeper cast of blue, the full beauty of this glorious tree can be appreciated tojthe 
utmost. Our price for balled and burlapped, 18-24 in., XXX, selected, true-blue speci¬
