Eversgreens for Dignity and 
Permanence 
For a general ornamental planting, there are no classes of trees and 
shrubs that can take the place of evergreens. For winter and summer 
effect, for color contrast, for hardiness, they stand alone. 
In planting evergreens that are balled and burlapped, plant without 
removing the burlap. Just cut the strings. Never allow any fresh ma- 
nure to come in contact with the roots. Set the tree with water and 
water it frequently after planting. Never water the foliage during a hot 
sunny day. Do this in the evening.
