EVERGREENS 
• 
Evergreens make the most attractive deco¬ 
ration for your home grounds. They are 
beautiful at all seasons of the year—summer 
and winter, and if properly selected and ar¬ 
ranged as to color of foliage and habit of 
growth, they will be very satisfactory.

Five reasons why Evergreens have not al¬ 
ways proved a success. 
(1) Poor Selection of Varieties. 
We can help you make the proper 
choice for your individual conditions. 
(2) Not Hardy in This Vicinity. 
We grow only the hardy varieties, thus 
assuring you of plants that will stand the 
severe winters. 
(3) Not Adapted to Soil and Other Conditions 
Here. 
We have been growing Evergreens in 
Syracuse for 35 years. We have learned 
from experience the varieties that give 
the most satisfaction in this locality. 
(4) Not Properly Grown in the Nursery, as to 
Transplanting, Root Pruning and Shearings 
Our Evergreens are transplanted and 
root pruned every three years. They are 
sheared once or more each season. The 
plants are thus assured of plenty of fiber 
roots and are good and bushy. 
(5) Dried Out Condition Before or After 
Planting. 
The roots of Evergreens should never 
be exposed to the sun or wind. If allowed 
to dry out for only a short time, the sap 
in the roots become hard and the plant 
dies. Our Evergreens are very carefully 
dug with a ball of soil and delivered the 
same day and if planted at once and kept 
well watered will be very sure to grow.
