EVERGREENS 
Evergreens are contributors of continuous beauty 
and because of this are essential in every plan of home 
planting. Green the year ’round, they are refreshingly 
cool in summer, and lend color and warmth to the bleak 
landscape in winter. The beautiful shape and deep 
color of these shrubs is a joyous sight in the winter 
months when all other growing things are stripped of 
their foliage. The speciments should be balled and 
burlapped when received from the grower and set 
carefully as received. Do not remove the burlap. The 
hole should be as large again as the ball and thor¬ 
oughly soaked, as well as the ball of earth, and the 
soil tramped very firm. The tree should be set so that 
the lowest branches touch the ground.
