W E appreciate the value of evergreens for contrast with deciduous shrubs, 
for accents and background in the perennial garden, and for cheerful 
decorative effect in winter. The dwarf and slow-growing varieties are 
especially useful in small yards and gardens, and for foundation plantings. Ever¬ 
greens should be planted in April and May, if possible. While we do not recom¬ 
mend late fall planting for small evergreens, it is sometimes possible to plant suc¬ 
cessfully in late August and early September. Most evergreens like full sun, though 
reflected heat close to the south side of a house is too hot. They do fairly well on 
the east and west sides, with half shade. 
Evergreens are dug with a ball of dirt and tied in burlap. The price given is for a 
single plant. For the rare and choice varieties, of which we have but few plants, 
the single rate prevails. For other varieties, if five or more plants of the same 
variety and size are bought, the price is 8% less.
