Note-Our Evergreens are balled and burlaped 
and may be transplanted succesfully at any time 
Evergreens are invaluable for beautifying grounds. 
They are used for specimens on the lawn and also ex¬ 
tensively for massing, shelter-belts, screens, hedges, etc. 
For winter cheer they are unexcelled. Their bright 
warm foliage is always a welcome note in the land¬ 
scape, but with the branches arched and laden with 
snow, the deep green needles standing out in con¬ 
trast, they present a picture of indescribable beauty. 
For planting around the house as a foundation plant¬ 
ing they give a color and warmth that cannot be ob¬ 
tained with any other tree. Only an inspection of our 
stock can give an adequate idea of the variety of color 
effect they present. There are deepest and lightest 
greens, bright and sombre golden tints, and soft steel- 
greys and blues. 
A good many fail with evergreens on account of im¬ 
proper treatment. In transplanting, the roots should 
never be allowed to become dry, as no amount of soak¬ 
ing will restore them. 
The large-sized specimen trees we furnish with a ball 
of dirt, which insures the success of transplanting. The 
large trees produce an immediate effect. Trees dug 
with ball of earth about the roots and tightly sewed 
in burlap (B. &B.) may be shipped to any part of the 
country and planted with success. 
NOTE.—Where trees are dug with solid ball of earth 
they can be successfully planted at any time during the 
season, even during the hottest weather.

Arbor Vitae... 
AMERICAN ARBOR VITAE—One of the most valuable 
of the native Evergreens and one of the most rapid 
growers, and probably the easiest of all to transplant; 
in fact, they will grow almost as easily from a cut¬ 
ting as a willow. They make a tree 60 feet and up, 
and make very rapid growth the first few years, or

up to 20 feet in height. It is a native of this state 
and all over the northern part of the United States 
and Canada. From this tree comes the White Cedar 
posts, telegraph poles, railroad ties, etc. It thrives in 
most any situation; no place too wet or too dry. Fine 
for windbreaks and for ornamental hedgings, as it 
shears well and makes a very dense evergreen hedge.
