We have specialized in the growing- of Seedlings for over half a century and have 
the largest and most complete stock in America. We have every facility for growing 
from seed—plus the finest natural location in the United States—plus over fifty years' 
practical knowledge of how to do it best. We are growing millions annually. We go 
to a great deal of expense gathering and sowing our seed, but we think it’s worth it 
all to knov/ that the little trees are true to name, healthy and vigorous. (See illustration.) 
To obtain best results Evergreen Seedlings should not be planted where wanted 
permanently at once, but should be bedded 
out in garden under shade for one year, in 
a choice, well protected spot, where they 
can be watered and cultivated and weeded. 
Plant in rows, four feet long, two inches 
apart in the row and the rows six inches 
apart. Shade the first season with lath 
frames or brush. At the end of the first year 
they will have developed sufficient fibrous 
roots so they will be ready to set out 
where wanted permanently. Great care 
should be taken to have the ground in 
proper condition for planting. Spade it 
deep, rake it fine and level and afterward 
see that the trees are tramped firmly into 
the soil. 
Dear Sir: Out of the 1,500 seedlings 
I bought of you last spring I lost only 
a few, and will want a larger order next 
year. Please send me your catalog at an
