FERTILIZERS AND EVERGREENS 
23 
FERTILIZERS 
Plants may not survive the rigors of winter because they enter this unfavorable period 
in a half-starved condition. Two recommended products are offered at the uniform price 
of $1.00 per sack, Three sacks $2.50; and Eight sacks for $5.00. Fertilizer travels at 
expense of purchaser, freight or express. Approximate weights per sack are noted below. 
Pulverized Peat and Sheep Manure. Portions equal. Sheep manure provides a concen¬ 
trated plant food; peat provides humus, lightens the soil, and makes plant food more 
available. An ideal lawn dressing with nothing to remove, excellent for trees, shrubs, 
or perennial beds. Each sack weighs approximately 60 lbs. 
Pulverized Peat. A concentrated form of humus. May be used to lighten a heavy soil; 
retains moisture in a sandy soil. Especially valuable in preparing seed beds, or as a 
mulch in the perennial garden. Each sack weighs approximately 50 lbs. 
EVERGREENS 
Rockmont Nursery carries a large stock of the following evergreens: Juniper alpina, 
J. depressa plumosa, J. Pfitzeri, J. Sabina, J. Scopulorum, J. tamariscifolia, J. virginiana 
tripartita, J. waukegan, Austrian Pine, Mugho Pine, and Colorado Blue Spruce. These are 
available in a considerable range of sizes. All evergreens are sold with suitable ball of 
earth and securely wrapped in burlap. Due to the weight of earth required, and difficulty 
of handling, the larger sizes are not recommended for distant shipment unless they can 
be moved in carload lots, or shipped by special truck. If your winters are extremely 
dry and windy, better wait for spring delivery. 
Most evergreens prefer full sun and fertile soil. Avoid alkaline conditions if possible. 
For our distant customers, we are especially recommending a number of evergreens 
in the following sizes. Individual crates will be furnished in all cases at no extra cost and 
approximate weights have been noted. Trees
