EVERGREEN WINDBREAKS 
At these low prices everyone can afford an Evergreen Windbreak. Plant them for year 
round protection. 
The distance apart to plant depends on the number of rows to be used. We advise 8 ft. 
apart if a single row; 10 ft. apart each way if a double row; 14 ft. apart each way if three rows. 
Space between rows can be used for potatoes or garden for several years. Seedlings and 
small transplants should be planted in a garden spot where they can be given extra care the 
first two years, then transplanted to their permanent position.
