EVERGREENS, continued 
Evergreen roots can stand but little exposure to the sun and air; therefore, 
if not ready to plant them when received, they should be heeled in the ground at 
once and given a good drenching of water. If not shipped with a ball of earth, 
they should be puddled well before heeling-in or planting. Make a puddle of 
water and soil in a tub, stir well until it is the thickness of cream, then dip the 
roots well in this mixture. 
Burlaped Roots. When the roots of evergreen trees and shrubs are well 
balled and wrapped with burlap by the nurseryman, it is usually best not to 
remove this wrapping, but to soak the^ ball in water a few minutes and plant 
the tree with ball and burlap intact, cutting the tying cords before filling the hole. 
PARCEL POST: We do not ship evergreen trees by parcel post. 
ALL EVERGREENS BALLED AND BURLAPED WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE 
The Arborvitaes 
Useful evergreen trees, quite different in appearance from any of the pines 
and spruces. The foliage, or “leaves,” is flattish instead of needle-Iike, and has 
a tendency to set on edge, especially with certain varieties. None of the Arbor- 
vitses gets very large, and all, excepting Western, are slow growers. This makes 
them valuable where space is limited and you want the trees to stay small. The 
odd shapes and colors of some of the varieties make them especially well adapted 
for planting where they stand alone. They make wonderful hedges, and rarely 
do we find a planting of any size where some variety is not used for this purpose. 
The tall and dwarf varieties are adapted to many places. We have given special 
care to the trees offered; you cannot find better specimens at any price.
