Baileys EVERGREENS 
Evergreens present a broad opportunity for plant lovers 
to produce rich and beautiful effects that cannot be 
surpassed by any other class of plants. Evergreens are 
used as specimens on lawns, also extensively for massing, 
shelterbelts, screens, hedges, etc. Many varieties adapt 
themselves and are indispensable in your foundation 
planting. They form perfect backgrounds for the flower- 
ing shrubs of early spring, for the berries of autumn and 
winter’s tracery of bright bark and twigs. Beautiful 
beds of permanent color are formed by grouping to- 
gether sorts of moderate growth with contrasting 
foliage ... To be successful in planting evergreens, the 
planter should use great care to obtain stock that has 
been frequently transplanted while growing to insure a 
thick, fibrous root system. We are very careful to offer 
only such stock as will measure up to these very im- 
portant requirements, thereby saving our customers 
from disappointment ...In the larger size Evergreens 
it is necessary for the best results, to ball and burlap 
the roots. This consists of digging the trees with a solid 
ball of dirt and wrapping in burlap so that the roots 
are not disturbed ...We keep a large assortment of 
Evergreens in our sales yard, dug fresh every day, and 
consequently, it is not necessary to go out into the 
fields to select your trees.
