EVERGREENS 
The evergreens offered here are all heavy, twice transplanted 
trees. We strongly recommend the use of this grade as they have a 
much better developed root system and do not require the special atten¬ 
tion that is so necessary with seedlings. Evergreens should not be plant¬ 
ed under other large trees because the soil is usually kept very dry be¬ 
low the surface, the many fiberous roots of the larger trees consuming 
the moisture. Shade is desirable if it protects the newly planted ever¬ 
green on the south side from the hot noonday sun as well as hot, 
drying winds. This shade and shelter is best obtained by pushing a board 
into the ground on the south side, about four inches away from limbs. 
The board should be long enough so it is several inches higher than the 
tree and about the same width as branches at the base of the evergreen. 
These boards should be removed the following spring. Newly planted 
evergreens should be cultivated the first two seasons. 
Evergreens are our specialty and we have them in all sizes and in 58 
varieties. Space does not permit listing of all, for information on varie¬ 
ties or sizes not listed here kindly write, giving full details and we are 
sure we can supply your wants at a low price. 
COLORADO spruce 
Several years ago this tree was used only 
as an ornamental. However, its extreme 
hardiness, rapid rate of growth and broad, 
dense branches extending to the ground 
are ideal characteristics of a shelter belt 
tree. As the use of the Blue Spruce became 
more general the cost of young trees has 
been reduced each season and prices now 
are such that every grove can be fortified 
with a row of these beautiful, drouth re¬ 
sistant trees. Usually there are about 10 
good blue specimen trees to every 100. We 
do not make a practice of “holding out’’ 
these select specimens, thus enabling you 
to select a few very beautiful specimens 
for planting about the house or lawn. Be 
sure to plant at least a few Colorado Blue 
Spruce this year, they more than double in 
value each season and are the easiest ever¬ 
green to grow. 
BLACK HILLS SPRUCE 
A western form of the White Spruce noted for its ability to withstand 
drought. A very dense and bushy tree. Grows rather slowly. A very 
good ornamental as Avell as shelter tree. Can be sheared to any desired 
shape.

DOUGLAS FIR 
During the past few years this variety has won for itself a very enviable 
position among trees suitable for windbreak or ornamental use. The 
color of the foliage is a very rich green, shape is triangular, similar to 
that of the Norway Spruce. Grows very rapidly often making two 
growths a season totaling as much as 30 inches. Is very hardy and 
drouth resistant, stands shearing Avell when used as an ornamental. 
Branches remain down to the ground and are very dense making it ideal 
for shelter use.
