EVERGREEN TREES 
Please Note! 
We are going 
back to the old 
nursery way of digging evergreens with¬ 
out a ball of earth in which they grew, 
attached. We have come to the conclusion 
it is better to dig carefully; gently re¬ 
move the soil, replacing it with wet moss 
or excelsior, the entire protected root- 
system then sewed into a burlap con¬ 
tainer. Eliminating the accustomed 40 to 
80 pounds of hard soil will make so im¬ 
portant reduction in weight of both tree 
and the type of box required, that cus¬ 
tomers can now afford to Ship Evergreens 
by Express. Express shipments will save 
several days to weeks in railroad trans¬ 
portation, besides ensuring prompt deliv¬ 
ery to your door. This brings you the roots 
still moist, the valuable fibrous roots unbroken ; 
thus giving a better chance for success.

MOSS-BALLED 
Our Evergreens are all carefully grown, at good dis¬ 
tances for symmetrical development, are root and top-pruned 
into handsome, shapely specimens that will transplant success¬ 
fully to new homes with ordinary care. We pack them so that 
the root-fibers are well protected and will reach their destina¬ 
tion in good growing condition. If planters will continue this 
care to keep the fibers from drying out by exposure to air and 
sun until the stock is planted, success is reasonably sure.

ARBOR-VITAE [Thuya] 
American (White Cedar). Erect, pyramidal habit with soft 
bright green foliage, dense from ground up; grows rapidly 
and soon forms a most beautiful tree for any purpose. Like 
other types of Arbor-vitae, the American can be trimmed 
at will, or even closely sheared when sufficiently developed 
to present formal lines and surface as a hedge.

Siberian. A superb hardy variety, somewhat similar to Amer¬ 
ican, with heavier and fuller foliage and more compact 
habit; bears trimming well. This variety is extensively used 
for backgrounds in foundation plantings, where dense bushi¬ 
ness is required, rather than height.

HEMLOCK [Tsuga Canadensis] 
The best evergreen in heavy shade; and both beautiful and 
dependable wherever used. Its refined foliage is lacy, close- 
set and darkly lustrous, in rather flat fronds which droop 
gracefully. Although capable of great height, it is best known 
as a moderate grower adapted to severe pruning; used at 
corner, or as foundation screens; or in formally sheared high 
hedges. Each

JUNIPER [Juniperus] 
This family provides the most diversified character of any, 
and lends its types to every landscaping requirement. For 
slender columns, you can choose from Chinese, Irish, Swedish, 
and the Virginian varieties ; Irish being thinnest and bluest, 
Chinese the darkest and thickest except for the bulkily col¬ 
umnar red cedars in blue, green, bronze and yellow shades. 
For ground covering and extensive rockery schemes, Hori- 
zontalis, Pfitzer’s, Savin, and Tamariscifolia are practical, 
also in selective colors. Dwarf Swedish and Spiny Greek are 
the shortest growing of the columnar type ; Pfitzer’s will best 
stand up under smoky, gaseous city conditions. 
Spiny Greek (J. excelsa stricta). A distinct variety with a 
peculiar, blue-green shade of color. Dwarf, very dense, cone- 
shaped ; slow growing and useful in foundation plantings or 
edging. Each Each

Horizontalis. A handsome, serviceable ground covering type 
of closely radiating habit, the foliage more threadlike and 
distended than in Tamariscifolia, yet denser and more pros¬ 
trate than Waukegan ; the color a fresh gray-green. Sizes

Ffitzeriana. One of the most striking of all evergreens. The 
branches progress spirally along the trunk at a 45-degree 
angle, thereby making a good “filler” ; or standing alone, 
it acquires the symmetry of a broken column. The branches 
are long and whiplike, densely furnished, very dark green ; 
the first new growth thickly studding the expanse like silver 
beads. Either “flat” or “upright.” Each
