For Lawn and Windbreak Planting 
1 have planted 39 different varieties of 
Evergreens in my new flower garden here 
in Shenandoah. You can see exactly how 
these beautiful shapely evergreens look at 
all stages of growth. I can supply you 
with any size, any hardy variety adapted 
to our territory you want for windbreaks, 
hedges, formal gardens, rock gardens or 
foundation plantings. 
Plant Transplanted Balled and 
Burlapped Evergreens for 
Quickest Growth 
My Evergreens are all 3 and 4 times 
transplanted which Insures a heavy root 
system that will develop a successful top 
growth. They are deep rooted, thus do not 
become loosened up In the ground In heavy 
windstorms. 
My “How to Plant” book tells you ex¬ 
actly how to plant Balled and Burlapped 
Evergreens. It is free for the asking. 
Plant a Living Christmas Tree 
Living, growing Christmas trees are 
the greatest modern Christmas touch. 
Plant your Christmas tree out of doors 
so you can light it up over the Holiday 
season. They will continue to grow and 
become more beautiful each year.
