HILL’S SPECIMEN ORNAMENTAL EVERGREENS 
BALLED AND BURLAPPED 
Dear Sir:—The trees arrived in good shape and 
are very satisfactory.—George W. McAdam, Van¬ 
derbilt Bldg., Tarryto'wn, N. Y. 
To satisfy the increasing demand for larger trees to 
give quicker results, a large department of our nursery 
is devoted to the growing of Specimen Ornamental Ever¬ 
greens which are handled with Ball and Burlap (see illustra¬ 
tion). This stock is all grown in wide rows with plenty of 
room to develop both root and top. Each tree is staked to in¬ 
sure symrnetrical growth and at regular intervals throughout 
the growing season, trimming and pruning is done by 
men of long experience and special training in this line. 
We keep these trees on the move—transplanting them 
every two years as a root system can be developed in no 
other way—and in Evergreens, roots are the basis of 
success in transplanting. They are to the tree planter 
what the foundation of solid rock is to the builder—a 
guarantee of long life, safety and durability. 
D. HILL SAYS: “To obtain these beautiful 
effects with Evergreens does not necessitate any 
great outlay of money, nor does it require any 
special knowledge of horticulture. Trees of any 
size to suit the pocketbook, either small, medium 
or large, can be selected, and the only requisite 
for success is that they be planted carefully in 
good, rich soil, and simply given reasonable at¬ 
tention, same as the rose garden or vegetable 
patch. Permanency and beauty are two attributes 
attained by Evergreens not to be found in the 
flower family, which thrive and bloom for a few 
weeks and then are gone forever. A small initial 
investment in Evergreens will prove a source of 
enjoyment for a lifetime, and the trees grow 
more beautiful each year.”
