SPECIMEN EVERGREENS WITH BARE 
ROOTS 
Those at a distance who must have their trees shipped will save considerable 
by buying these bare rooted trees, even though they require more careful 
planting than trees with ball and burlap. All are freshly dug, and the roots 
packed in moist peat or moss, which is much lighter than dirt balls and less 
expensive to box or crate.

SPECIMEN EVERGREENS WITH BALL AND BURLAP 
The following prices are for well developed trees, mostly sheared, dug with 
a solid ball of earth securely burlapped and bound. In planting, do not remove 
the burlap. After the tree is in place, and hole partly filled to hold it, cut the 
burlap loose around the top and pour in plenty of water. Large trees over 9 
feet should be ordered before hard freezing so they can be mulched for winter 
digging, and the ball of dirt frozen solidly before moving. Imperfect specimens 
(defective on the side or at the bottom) can often be used as effectively in 
groups and will be priced according to quality. Each X represents one trans¬ 
planting.
