Evergreens present a broad opportunity 
for plant lovers to produce rich and beautiful 
effects that cannot be surpassed by any other 
class of plants. Evergreens are used for speci¬ 
mens on lawns, also extensively for massing, 
shelterbelts, screens, hedges, etc. Many varie¬ 
ties adapt themselves and are indispensable 
in your foundation planting. They form per¬ 
fect backgrounds for the flowering shrubs of 
early spring, for the berries of autumn and 
winter’s tracery of bright bark and twigs. 
Beautiful beds of permanent color are formed 
by grouping together sorts of moderate 
growth, with contrasting foliage. 
To be successful in planting evergreens, the 
planter should use great care to obtain stock 
that has been frequently transplanted while 
growing to insure a thick, fibrous root system. 
We are very careful to offer only such stock as 
will measure up to these very important re¬ 
quirements, thereby saving our customers 
from disappointment. 
In the larger size Evergreens it is necessary, 
for the best results, to ball and burlap the 
roots. This consists of digging the trees and 
wrapping the roots in a solid ball of dirt. 
We keep a large assortment of evergreens 
in our sales yard, dug fresh every day, and 
consequently, it is not necessary to go out into 
the fields to select your trees.
