8 Evergreens 
account of an inexhaustible supply of water about eighteen inches below 
the surface of the soil the plants are practically “forced.” Until these 
plants have become acclimated by growth in this country for several 
years, and have had a chance to produce fresh roots in addition to the 
soft roots formed in the Dutch black peat, they suffer severely from drought 
and winter-killing and many die a lingering death five years after planting. 
This is especially true of Rhododendrons and Boxwood. 
The plants which we offer have been growing for several years in our 
nurseries, and the purchaser is not exposed to the risk attendant upon the 
purchase of foreign stock. 
The following arrangement is the one by which we have grouped our 
stock of many species of Evergreens.
