EVERGREENS ARE 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 ever teen that die is from lack of WATER. One good watering, once 
a week, is much bata than watering every day, and when you water put 10 to 15 gal- 
lons of water to each aeepue don’t wet the tops. 
ALL OUR Ry ENS ARE GROWN AT THE NURSERY IN ALPHA 
hey are all fresh aa 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.
