Evergreens 
All of our evergreens are specimens. Every tree is given 
careful attention and such varieties as Retinisporas, etc., re¬ 
quiring it, are sheared as often as necessary in order to pro¬ 
duce a bushy symetrical tree. They are all branched to the 
ground. We frequently transplant our evergreens and in that 
way, we get a mass of fibrous roots. In nearly every case, as 
noted in the catalogue, the trees will be dug with a ball of 
earth and the ball sewed in burlap. This makes the trans¬ 
planting of them almost an assured success. Of course, the 
first cost of these evergreens dug and handled in this way, 
is more than common, but as the planter has practically no 
loss with them, he is saving money in the long run. Our stock 
must not be confused with low priced evergreens rarely 
transplanted and grown thickly together.

Our 4 to 5 inch Box Edging were all transplanted last 
Sprmg They are nice, busy little plants and well-rooted. 
The 5 to 6 inch stock is much heavier and bushier, and less 
P »"*»»« required to the foot, than for the 4 to 5 inch stock. 
All of this stock is of our own growing, it is not imported. 
he 12 to 15 inch plants have been especially grown for 
eoging purposes. They are very bushy and will make a solid 
edging immediately. Set two plants to the foot.
