The ENDURING BEAUTY of 
Marshalls EVERGREENS 
IN THE LANDSCAPE 
In summer and winter evergreens bring to our homes the freshness of the 
woods and the mountains. 
When planted about the foundation, evergreens dispel the coldness of the 
bare building; they destroy the bleakness of winter and substitute a protec- 
tive warmth to which everyone responds.

SELECTED-STRAIN EVERGREENS 
By careful selection and grafting Marshalls have developed the outstanding stock 
of ornamental evergreens of the entire West. 
During the past 25 years Marshalls have made many trips into the Black Hills, 
the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and the North Woods, scouting for trees 
having characteristics adapting them to specific home and landscape uses. Marshalls 
have secured wood from hundreds of such trees.

SELECTED FOR PARTICULAR USES 
Each selection is made because of some superior quality, of the mother tree— 
shape, color of foliage, texture of foliage, etc. The matter of each one retaining 
the general form for which selected without much shearing later on, on the plant- 
er’s grounds, is important. Almost any evergreen can be trained into desired form 
and be kept that way with constant shearing by experienced nurserymen, but if 
neglected, may soon develop into form not desired where used. Marshalls varieties selected for special pur- 
pose planting, need only a minimum of training after the planter has them. This is. very important, especially 
with foundation evergreens. 
GRAFTING INSURES UNIFORMITY 
By grafting, the exact shape of each selection is retained and all trees of each variety are like peas in a pod. 
When grown from seed, (all seeds from the same tree) there is considerable variation, and regular and careful 
trimming must be practiced to keep them uniform; then there is still the variance in color and texture of foli- 
age against them. 
TRANSPLANTING MAKES GOOD ROOTS 
Marshalls evergreens are all transplanted several times before being offered. Roots are trimmed back at each 
transplanting which results in a mass of fibrous feeding roots close in, to go with the earth ball. Transplant- 
ing also develops caliper and sturdiness of trunk, and compact, well-furnished side branches from the ground 
up. Trees are wide-spaced in the nursery, giving ample room for limb-spread and for digging with large balls 
of earth. 
MARSHALLS SOIL ADAPTED TO BALLING 
The soil at Marshalls is ideal for balling, and balled and burlapped trees carry through with very few cracked 
or “mushy” earth balls, which is not the case when evergreens are dug from sandy valiey soils.
