structions before and after planting should be carefully 
followed. We include only the varieties we have found 
to be hardy in this soil and climate. However, there 
are so many conditions beyond our control, that we 
do not assume full responsibility. 
Points of vital importance for success with Evergreens; 
1. Holes should be dug at least f> inches wider than 
the ball and 2 or 3 inches deeper than it stood in 
the nursery. 
2. Set the tree straight and pa’ck dirt in firmly. Cut 
string on ball, but do not remove burlap. 
3. Flood with water, then mound up with dirt. 
4. Water twice ^a week after planting. Give a thorough 
soaking in late Fall to supply moisture during the 
winter. 
5. A light mulch of straw or leaves after the ground 
freezes is also beneficial, but not absolutely neces¬ 
sary. 
To assist you in selecting the proper type, we illus¬ 
trate below the six general shapes of evergreens. The 
group to which each tree belongs is shown immediately 
after the plant’s common name.
