August Is 
Evergreen Month 
Evergreens may be planted al¬ 
most any month in the year, but 
they seem to grow better when 
they’re moved in August, after 
the strong spring growth has 
been completed. They are able 
to establish roots before cold 
weather sets in, and so survive 
the winter with health unim¬ 
paired. Your only care need be 
to see that they get plenty of 
water; no other attention is re¬ 
quired. 
Plant generously, so that ten years 
from now you will avoid regrets. 
Many of our Evergreens are large 
enough to give immediate service as 
screens and hedges; the White Pines 
and Hemlocks are especially well 
adapted to this use because of their 
form of growth. 
Carload Lotsor Less 
The trees in this list can be sup¬ 
plied in large quantities. You'll find 
it advantageous to obtain a number 
at a time; the finished effect is much 
better and the planting is easily ac¬ 
complished.
