Westminster Nurseries, Westminster^ Maryland 
EVERGREENS 
Green of every shade and hue, charmingly contrasted with blue, gold and gray, their foliage is always 
pleasing. Pyramidal or erect, globular or spreading, you can find forms for every fancy. For groups or 
screening, in shelter planting or hedges, you have nothing quite to equal them. In summer they are at¬ 
tractive, in winter they offer a comforting note to the bleak landscape and under the weight of ice and 
snow their great drooping branches lend enchantment and cheer. Evergreen trees when received from 
the Nurseries are balled and burlapped. Our experience proves to us that Evergreens handled this way 
(B&B) can be planted as soon as the frost leaves the ground in spring and up until the ground is frozen 
again in the fall or early winter. 
When planting Evergreens, dig the hole eight to ten inches larger than the ball, and about one inch 
deeper; the burlap should be loosened and laid down in the hole or removed if possible to do so without 
breaking the soil from the roots. Step back and see if the plant is straight and placed to the best advantage 
in relation to other plants and surroundings. Now fill the hole almost full of soil, pack firmly, and then 
fill with water. After the water has soaked down, fill completely with soil and tramp it down until it is 
firm and level. 
At all times keep the soil cultivated. In dry weather, water at intervals of seven to ten days. Water 
thoroughly and see that it penetrates well down to the roots. Watering or sprinkling a little every day 
does more harm than good. Evergreens will grow in any good garden soil. 
Our Evergreens are all carefully grown, well-spaced for symmetrical development, are root and top- 
pruned into shapely, compact plants. Most all Evergreens have to be sheared to develop into specimens.
