Evergreens for Christmas Decorations 
Sprays of Holly collected in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Galax, 
Ferns, Balsam Fir branches; all help express the Christmas spirit. They find 
a ready place in every room in the home. These holiday greens are recom¬ 
mended as appropriate home decorations as they retain their color and shape 
indefinitely in a vase of water, even in warm rooms, because of their vitality 
and brilliant natural colorings. 
I have been collecting native evergreens for thirty years and supplying some of the most 
notable homes in America. The selection is usually left to me and you can be sure that greens 
are the finest and most carefully chosen. Our method of packing assures arrival in perfect 
condition anywhere in America. Remember your friends by sending them a box of these unique 
decorations from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Send cards to be enclosed in each. 2
