vergreens For Modern Planting 
U NLIKE other kinds of trees 
and shrubs, evergreens must 
be dug with a large ball of 
earth or they will not survive; 
in other words, they must be 
moved in the soil they grew in. 
To correctly dig an evergreen with 
a ball of earth takes both time and 
skill. The ball must be made large 
so as not to cut off the feeding roots 
and care must be taken not to crack 
it or loosen the soil. After digging, 
this ball of dirt is securely wrapped 
in burlap to keep in the moisture and 
hold the soil intact. 
When evergreens are dug and plant¬ 
ed scientifically and given proper af¬ 
ter-care, there is very little chance of 
loss. 
In choosing evergreens for founda¬ 
tion planting, it is best to use med¬ 
ium and dwarf growers for perman- 
ept effects. Plant the taller varieties 
at the corners, at points in the foun¬ 
dation where there are no windows, 
and on each side of the entrance 
plant dwarf growers under low win¬ 
dows or wherever low plantings are 
desired. 
Between groups of evergreens, flow¬ 
ering shrubs may be planted to add 
variety and color. 
This list of evergreens classified according to type will assist 
you in your selections.
