Evergreens for All Places 
You can use evergreens an 3 rwhere and everywhere. A small city lot, a larger 
estate, or the great city park alike call for the use of these beautiful trees. And 
out of the great number of varieties you can find one or more that will fit, when 
any other shrub or tree would be entirely out of place. 
The tall and stately Pines, the spreading Hemlocks, the sentinel-Iike Junipers, 
the dense Arborvitaes can be arranged so skilfully that they have the appear¬ 
ance of permanence and solidity, of grace and artistic taste. Without evergreens

and sleet; will save your vegetable garden or orchard from untimely frosts! 
A group of evergreens makes the best sort of screen to cut off unsightly 
scenes; a hedge gives a feeling of privacy and security; while in winter days the

good time to plant them is during the latter part of August and the first of 
beptember, especially if we have plenty of rain. At this time of the year they 
should be given an abundant supply of water when planting. This should be put 
in the hole after the tree is set and the soil has been well rammed around the 
tree and before the hole is filled. Then fill the hole with loose soil, and mulch.
