Handling of Evergreens 
In the handling of Evergreens, never allow the roots to become dry. Their 
sap is resinous and once hardened no amount of moisture will dissolve. Dip 
the roots in thin mud as soon as unpacked and leave them there until setting 
out. Deciduous trees require the same treatment but will not dry out so 
quickly. Use plenty of water when planting— 
thorough watering and alternate thorough cultiva¬ 
tion after planting; every ten days until trees are 
well established. 
We prepare trees for shipment immediately after 
being dug up. The roots are dipped in a composition 
of clay and water, then packed in damp moss and 
rolled firm in kraft paper, leaving the tops free 
and excluding air from the roots. The bundle is then 
wrapped in burlap, well tied and securely sewed, 
making a neat bundle—not too heavy to ship by ex¬ 
press, same being preferable. Will not use other 
modes of transportation unless ordered by purchaser. 
Transplanted Evergreens can be taken up with 
ball of earth attached and can be wrapped with 
spaghnum moss and cotton twine; to be planted with 
twine and moss intact. Moss is beneficial for tree 
growth, absorbing and storing surplus moisture to 
be taken in up by tree as needed. Trees will grow' 
more rapidly and luxuriantly than if planted in the 
ordinary way. Burlap is used inside twine on larger 
tree and junipers. The cost of B & B packing as 
described is as follows: 4 to 12 inches, 5 cts. per 
tree extra; 12 to 18 inches, 10 cts. per tree extra; 
18 to 24 inches, 25 cts. per tree extra. 
Deciduous Trees 
We can furnish a description on request. Many of the kinds are well known; 
all of them have a part to fill in reforesting. Mixed with the evergreen vari¬ 
eties, as found growing in our native forests, both kinds seem to thrive well, 
and in late autumn the different colors and many hues of the deciduous trees 
mingle in contrast with the lighter and darker shades of the evergreens and 
create a pleasing scene not likely to be surpassed in beauty.
