Ornamental Evergreens 
Nowhere are the evergreens more highly valued for ornamental planting 
than here in the North where they add a touch of cheerfulness to the other¬ 
wise bleak winter scene. 
In selecting evergreens for planting in this section of long, cold winters, 
it is of utmost importance that only the hardiest strains be chosen. 
The trees we offer have been grown for many years in our own nursery 
and under such general conditions as to climate and soil as prevail through¬ 
out this northern section of Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. The fact 
alone that every B&B tree which we send out has been grown from 8 to 
20 years in our own nursery should be the best possible guarantee we can 
give as to their hardiness. 
All trees are carefully dug with solid earth ball on roots, then wrapped 
with burlap and securely tied with heavy twine to assure trees being de¬ 
livered in best possible condition. 
PRICES given are for trees called for at the nursery. 
If trees are to be delivered by truck or shipped by rail there 
will be an additional charge for delivery or for boxing 
and packing. 
Arbor Vitae (Thuya Occidentalis). 
The American Arbor Vitae is so well known that it needs very little 
description. It is a very useful species for various purposes. The 
sheared specimen fits well into the formal planting. As a hedge it is 
unsurpassed. When exposed to the winds it will hold its branches clear 
to the ground which makes it a very desirable tree for shelterbelt plant¬ 
ing. It prefers a moist location and will thrive in any ordinary soil 
except poor sand and gravel.
