Northern Grown 
Evergreens 
Our Evergreens are all carefully grown, and have been 
given the best of care under the supervision of specialists who 
understand growing Evergreens in such a manner as to insure 
their being transplanted successfully to new homes with or¬ 
dinary care. Do not compare our select mailing size Ever¬ 
greens with the inferior seedlings that are being offered by a 
few advertisers at ridiculously low prices, and which will die 
after you get them. Not only are our Evergreens grown right, 
but we take groat care in digging and packing, and we deliver 
them to all parts of the United States in good growing condi¬ 
tion. Mailing size plants are sent postpaid at the prices 
given; larger sizes have to be sent by express or freight. 
PLANTING- SEASON for spring, April 1st to May 20th; 
for fall, August 15th to October 15th, depending on season and locality. 
Evergreens can not be safely carried through the winter in storage like 
other trees, so can not be shipped until the frost is out of the ground in 
the spring. Some Southern planters have the mistaken idea that they 
should set out Evergreens earlier than the Northern planting season. 
Regardless of your climate. Evergreens should, for best results, be set out 
at the time the plants are in the proper transplanting condition. The 
proper transplanting condition depends on the climate where the trees are Juniper Pfitzeriana (75c Each) 
grown, not where they are to be planted. Our hardy. Northern grown 
Evergreens are the best for planting in either the North or South. Send 
your order early. We will ship at the proper time for planting our Northern grown Evergreens in your locality. 
Figures following variety names indicate approximately the height of the tree when apj^roaching maturity, which requires 50 to 60 
years. Grouping close together will have a tendency to keep them from growing large. The tall growing varieties can also be kept 
smaller by trimming. 
Drought Resisting Junipers 
During tlie past few summers the entire United States has suffered from heat and drought. Evergreens by 
the thousands have either died completely or have had the foliage so badly burned* that the trees are ruined 
for ornamental purposes. Throughout the country it has been found that when all other varieties have been 
killed or damaged the Junipers have come through unharmed. Junipers are unexcelled as a class for ornamen¬ 
tal planting; they are the easiest of Evergreens to transplant, and during the past summer have more than ever 
proven their worth. We offer here a good assortment of various types and recommend all of them.
