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 according to 
quality. Each X represents one transplanting.
