Dear Sirs: 
The evergreen trees we have re' 
ceived from you each of the past 2 
years have been very fine specimens. 
We are glad to say that each tree was 
up to the grade specified, and repre- 
sented good healthy bushy stock. In 
fact, we don't think we could have 
picked out any finer trees had we se' 
lected them ourselves. 
They have been growing exceed' 
ingly well and we look forward to the 
time when they will set off our hos' 
pital and grounds very artistically. 
Due to a lack of finances during 
thees past few trying years, we are car' 
rying out the suggestions of your 
landscape department on the install' 
ment plan. On the basis of our past 
transactions, you can indeed be sure 
of the continued patronage of your 
company. 
Sincerely yours, 
ST. CAMILLUS HOSPITAL. 
(Signed) C. Mansfield, Supt. 
Dundee Juniper.

HOW TO PLANT BALLED AND 
BURLAPPED EVERGREENS 
Follow directions as outlined in pic' 
ture above. If ball of earth appears 
hard and dry upon arrival soak it in a 
tub of water before planting. Leave 
saucer around base of tree so that drain' 
age will be towards tree. Do not put 
fresh manure in hole so it comes in con- 
tact with the roots. Use welbrotted 
manure and spread it on the ground 
after tree is planted and hole filled 
up. Keep ground well cultivated or 
mulched. When watering see that 
ground is soaked to a depth of 12 or 
15 inches. Just sprinkling the surface 
is not enough.
