SELECT EVERGREENS 
Without the evergreen the home is lacking that one thing 
that makes it complete. Evergreens are rapidly increasing in 
popularity, and becoming more and more appreciated for 
their ornamental beauty, which continues throughout the 
whole year. No lawn is now considered complete without 
these trees, and for artistic foundation planting they are 
unexcelled. 
Our evergreens have all been several times transplanted, 
which causes them to have a fine root system. They are all 
dug with ball of earth and burlapped securely, so as to not 
loosen or disturb the soil around the roots. 
IMPORTANT NOTICE 
In planting evergreens be sure to leave the burlap 
on the roots and do not loosen the cord, unless it 
should be tied around the base of the trunk, which 
might girdle the tree. Then only cutting the cord 
after the tree is planted and watered-in. 
BUYING AT THE NURSERY 
By coming to the nursery you can always make 
better selections, there are always better bargains in 
the cash and carry plan. 
Bring your plan or the measurements of your lawn 
and foundation and we will be glad to help you plan 
your planting, and make proper selections. 
TIME FOR PLANTING EVERGREENS 
Evergreens can be moved to good advantage any 
time after the 20th of September up to cold weather, 
and again as early in the spring as the ground and 
weather will permit digging, generally March first.
