SPECIMEN EVERGREENS WITH BALL AND BURLAP 
The following prices are for well developed trees mostly sheared, dug with 
a solid ball of earth and securely burlapped and bound. Read the paragraph 
on transplanting on the previous page. Do not remove the burlap. Dig the 
hole large enough that it can have a 2-inch lining of peat. After the tree is 
in the hole and enough mixed peat and soil filled in to hold it, cut the burlap 
loose around the top and pour in plenty of water, otherwise proceed as with 
bare rooted trees. Large trees over 9 feet should be ordered before hard 
freezing so they can be mulched for winter digging, and the ball of dirt frozen 
solidly before moving. Imperfect specimens (defective on the side or at the 
bottom) can often be used as effectively in groups and will be priced accord¬ 
ing to quality. Each X represents one transplanting.
