Properly Grown by BAY STATE 
There are no more beautiful things in nature than welhgrown, welhcared'for 
Evergreen Trees. They are strong and bold, and have definitely pronounced form. 
Summer, winter, spring, and fall they provide constant color and form accent— 
neat and precise when young, sturdy and majestic at maturity. 
Well Developed Trees — Easy to Transplant 
In winter, their boughs bending beneath the weight of snow, furnish a temporary 
variation of form, and the most beautiful of color contrasts. We have always 
grown a great variety of Evergreens and have many acres devoted to them where 
they are carefully tended from seedlings and grafts to bushy, welhdeveloped trees. 
In order to make them easy to handle when out of the ground, we transplant them 
frequently. This produces a ball of threaddike roots which will hold the soil firmly 
and allow them to be shipped and replanted with the least possible check and every 
assurance that they will live and prosper. 
Evergreens for All Purposes 
There is no end to their uses, just as there is no end to their infinite variety. 
Probably the owner of a small place will find best use for the dwarfer, slow'growing 
types in the foundation^planting, while larger places need them for fine foliage 
groups, for windbreaks, for enclosing private portions of the grounds, or for special 
formal treatment of various parts of the garden. 
ABIES - Fir 
Young or Old, The Fir is Always a Picture of Grandeur 
A large family of shapely trees with beautiful, soft, flat foliage, 
usually growing to great height, and in the first twenty'five to thirty 
years are most ornamental, attaining great picturesqueness with age. 
First may be planted as individual specimens or as a screen, hedge, 
or windbreak. They should not be used in foundation plantings. 
Abies concolor. White Fir. 80 ft. (Lm.) A very hardy tree from the 
Rocky Mountains, with dense foliage of varying shades of dark 
green and blue. It grows rapidly and withstands heat and drought.
