EVERGREENS and CONIFERS Grown to Strict Standards 
Give Amazing Beauty and Form Unusual New Colors! 
We are all familiar with the beautiful variety of shades available, rangins from deep, 
dark green, through all the shades and tints to the palest, most delicate apple-green, 
providing great usefulness and flexibility for the home landscape. Our scientific method 
of growing evergreens makes for symmetrical development and all specimens are top 
and root pruned into handsome, shapely trees. We dig our evergreens with an over¬ 
sized ball of earth thereby keeping the entire root system intact, which assures success¬ 
ful growth after transplanting. The ball of earth is protected with a covering o f burlap 
which is securely laced with rope, preventing the ball of earth from becoming broken. 
Because of our strict, scientific methods of growth and handling, you are assured a 
wide selection of the FINEST plants available in this country.

Our shipment of trees arrived Thursday. All were in good condition and well packed. A 
professional landscape gardener planted them and will watch over them for us until they get 
a good start. We will be needing more trees later and there is no doubt about who will get the 
order if these prove as satisfactory as we think they will. Mrs. L. H. Wike, Springfield, Ohio
