These prices are F. O. B. Shenandoah, Iowa, boxing 
free. My stores all carry a complete assortment of popu¬ 
lar varieties and sizes of freshly dug evergreens in, the 
planting season. 
ALL Balled in earth and securely burlapped. 
Fir 
DOUGLAS FIR (Abies). The foliage of Douglas Fir is 
an attractive, soft green color. It is a strong, upright 
grower, long lived, good for windbreak oi specimen 
planting. Will grow anywhere in America. Reaches 
60 feet in height and its branches will spread 12 to 
18 feet. Branches slope slightly downward. 
Pines 
.VIUGHO DWARF PINE. Dense, low growing tree. 
Plants are thickly covered with heavy, dark green 
needles. Mugho Pine never grows over 3 to 4 feet in 
height and can be kept trimmed back so it creeps 
right along on the ground. Grows naturally in a dwarf 
bail shape. 
MOERHEIM BLUE SPRUCE. Superior to all other Blue Spruce. This 
is without doubt the bluest of all Evergreens. They retain their rich, 
bluish color throughout the entire season and are known as "shiners”. 
These specimens are very compact growers and we cannot recom¬ 
mend them too highly. 
NORWAY SPRUCE. A very hardy windbreak tree, 
branches close to the ground, is a rapid grower, grows 
from 1 to 2 feet each season. The color is a deep 
green, makes an excellent windbreak and the 
ultimate height is 60 to 80 feet. 
It 
WHITE SPRUCE. I consider this tree supe- 
rior to the Norway Spruce because 
is more of a compact grower and 
the color is a trifle darker 
green. You will be well 
pleased with it, T 
am Sure.

SEEDLING EVERGREEN TREES 
Freshly Dug • Perfectly Packed • For Windbreaks 
I offer you a complete list of selected, freshly dug Evergreen 
Seedlings (S) and Transplants (T). The Seedlings should be 
planted in the garden or in beds for the first two years and 
cared for the same as you would take care of Cabbage plants. 
Cultivate very shallow. Give them shade the first year. Shades 
can be made from laths with a space of about 1 y 2 inches be¬ 
tween each lath. Place the laths north and south. Transplants 
with reasonable conditions and care; can be planted in their 
permanent location. Shade them by placing' a shingle on the 
south side, a few inches away from the plant, to give protection 
during the hotter parts of the day. 
So you see that small Transplants (T) are cheaper in the 
long run than Seedlings (S) and we recommend these trans¬ 
planted evergreens. However, all are thrifty, vigorous, well 
rooted, and in tine shape for shipping early in the season. Mulch 
these smaller evergreens the first season, early in the fall, using 
well rotted straw or leaves around the base of the tree. 
Evergreens for Windbreaks 
We advise 8 feet apart in a single row, 10 feet apart in two 
rows, 14 feet apart in three rows. The ideal windbreak is a four 
or five row windbreak, planted 14 feet apart in the row and the 
rows 20 feet apart. Every other row should have the trees 
planted even with the open spaces of the previous row, in other 
words, zig-zag. 
Postpaid Delivered Prices 
These Evergreen Seedlings are shipped by parcel post, these 
prices being postpaid, and they come to you in a separate pack¬ 
age direct from our grower in Eastern Nebraska.
