SPECIMEN EVERGREENS WITH BALL AND BURLAP 
The following prices are for well developed trees mostly sheared, dug 
with a solid ball of earth and securely burlapped and bound. Read the para¬ 
graph on transplanting on the previous page. Do not remove the burlap. 
Dig the hole large enough that it can have a 2-inch lining of peat. After the 
tree is in the hole and enough peat and soil filled in to hold it, cut the bur¬ 
lap loose around the top and pour in plenty of water, otherwise proceed as 
with bare rooted trees. Large trees over 9 feet should be ordered before 
hard freezing so they can be mulched for winter digging, and the ball of dirt 
frozen solidly before moving. Imperfect specimens (defective on the side 
or at the bottom) can often be used as effectively in groups and will be priced 
according to quality. Each X represents one transplanting. 
ARBORVITAE—American, Thuja occidentals. 
—Dark Green . 
A selected dark green, broadly pyramidal form 
grown from cuttings. One of the hardiest, and most 
drought-resistant Arborvitae we have. 
—Douglass, Pyramid . 
A very narrow pyramid with twisted clusters of 
foliage. 
—Geo. Peabody’s Golden, 12 to 15 ft. 
A clear golden yellow on the tips, needs shearing 
to make it compact. Best golden variety. 
—Globes, 4 to 5 ft. 
Naturally assumes a globular form without shear¬ 
ing. Fine in formal plantings.
