TOLLESON NURSERIES 
EVERGREENS 
for YEAR ‘ROUND ENJOYMENT 
URING the past few years there has been an ever increas- 
1) ing trend toward using more evergreens both in foundation 

and lawn planting. The foremost reason for this trend is 
that evergreens offer more beauty during the entire year 
than any other trees or shrubs. Then, too, they offer so 
much variation in habits of growth, shading and foliage textures; and 
many of them have ornamental cones or berries. 

Unlike other kinds of trees and shrubs, evergreens must be dug 
with a large ball of earth or they will not survive; in other words, 
they must be moved in the soil they grew in. 
To correctly dig an evergreen with a ball of earth takes both time 
and skill. The ball must be made large so as to not to cut off the 
feeding roots and care must be taken not to crack it or loosen the 
soil. After digging, this ball of dirt is securely wrapped in ny 
to keep in the moisture and hold the soil intact. 
When evergreens are dug and planted scientifically and given proper 
after-care, there is very little chance of loss. All of our prices on 
evergreens include digging with ball of earth and burlapping. 
In choosing evergreens for foundation planting, it is best to use 
medium and dwarf growers for permanent effects. Plant the taller 
varieties at the corners, at points in the foundation where there are 
no windows or, in some cases, on each side of the entrance. Plant 
dwarf growers under low windows or wherever low plantings are 
desired. 
Between groups of evergreens, flowering shrubs may be planted to 
add variety and color. 
This list of evergreens classified according to type will assist you 
in your selections.
