Choice and Rare Evergreens for 
Early Autumn Planting 
This illustration shows a handsome White Pine (Pin us Strobus) 
about 12 feet high, with ball of earth carefully secured with burlaps, just 
dug from a nearby block of tine specimens. We have a splendid lo't of 
these specimen evergreens, which have been so frequently transplanted 
that large balls of earth can be taken up with each tree, insuring suc¬ 
cessful transplanting. Immediate effects can be gained with these speci¬ 
men trees. 
Why this Season for Transplanting Evergreens ? 
EL the Hardy Evergreens transplant to special advantage during early Autumn 
and with good balls of earth even late into the Fall. Early planting gives 
ample opportunity for the trees to become well-rooted before cold weather, 
without the exhaustion incident to new growth which quickly follows Spring 
planting. 
This is especially true of Autumn planting when Evergreens arc taken up with 
balls of earth, a practice we recommend. All our Evergreens have been specially 
prepared by root pruning so that they take up with a splendid system of roots. 
Every care is taken at the Nursery to provide against exposure during digging 
and transporting ot all our stock, especially the Evergreens. 
How to Ship Evergreens. 
\\ lun delivciy is within economical distance for hauling by teams, we rec¬ 
ommend that way. Small orders to distant points can be boxed for shipping by 
height 01 expiess, hut where a number of specimen trees are to be sent, we advise 
shipping in bulk in car lots; this saves the cost of boxing and insures their arrival 
without injury. 'We gladly advise, if requested, the shipping method we recom¬ 
mend for individual shipments. 
Prices of Evergreens. 
See following pages for prices of the usual sizes. The prices of specimens will 
■vary with each plant, as they vary greatly in individual merit. Tt is desirable to 
visit the Nursery and make a personal selection, but where this is not practicable, 
we will gladly make selections for a customer when we are advised what special 
material is desired We will also recommend groupings for special effects to those 
who desire us to do so.
