Dig hole a foot larger and deeper than ball of 
earth. Provide good, loamy top soil to fill around 
ball. 
In planting evergreens, especially the balled 
plants, pruning is not so necessary except where 
the plant may have a shape which is not desired. 
Fertilizer is not generally needed for growing 
evergreens, in fact, some varieties resent it. 
WE DO NOT PAY FREIGHT. Give us your 
shipping instructions on the order blank herewith 
and we will follow them closely. In case you 
order roses or small plants which can be mailed 
by parcel post we will prune plants back as much 
as possible and charge you with the postage. 
All nursery stock leaves our grounds in first 
class condition. If it suffers while in transit the 
railroad or express company will be responsible. 
If it suffers after the customer has accepted the 
package the loss will be that of the purchaser.
