EVERGREENS ARl} not HARD TO GROW. All they need is a little reasonable 
care— and most of this care is water and a little cultivation. Water is very important 
as 70 per cent of evergroe ns that die is from lack of WATER. One good watering, once 
a week, is much better than watering every day, and when you water put 10 to 15 gal¬ 
lons of water to each tiee— but don’t wet the tops. 
ALL OUR EVERGREENS ARE GROWN AT THE NURSERY IN ALPHA 
They are all fresh dug | rom our fields. This is very important, as evergreens dry out 
fast, and if they are out of the ground very long, they will be a sure loss.
