Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa Bare Rooted Evergreens 

PESTS. Red Spider or Mite causes much damage if there are not frequent 
dashing showers in early summer to destroy the young and a rusty appear- 
ance is likely to be due to them. Water applied under a high pressure to the 
top every few days is an effective remedy. Pine Needle Scale is found almost 
everywhere and under favorable conditions may become a serious pest. White 
spots on the leaves of pine or spruce are likely due to it. Both this and Red 
Spider can be controlled by a single thorough spraying with Lime Sulphur 
such as orchardists use, in the regular dormant strength (1 to 8 of water) 
applied on warm days in spring before the new growth starts. Soluble oil 
sprays also are effective, but must be used with much caution. With frequent 
dashing showers through June, when the young are crawling, neither of these 
pests is likely to be serious. 
BARE ROOTED EVERGREENS 
For windbreaks and hedges 
PRICES in this section are for unsheared trees and do not include Ball and 
Burlap. The crop of windbreak evergreens now being offered was produced, 
with much cheaper labor than now prevails, so are still quoted at the old prices. 
Material increases can be expected after this season to cover the higher pro- 
duction costs. . 
Size Each Per 10 Per 100 
ARBORVITAE—American. 15-30 ft. —...... 18-24 in. XX $0.60 $5.00 $ 
The common Arborvitae used for 
hedges or windbreaks on soil too wet 
for other evergreens. Rows should 
run north and south so the sun will 
not hit on one side too long and pos- 
sibly burn them. 
PINE—ponderosa, Bull Pine. 50-60 ft.....15-18 in. XX 00 4.50 40.00 
Very long coarse leaves and stiff 18-24 in. XX .60 5.50 50.00 
rugged branches not easily broken. 2- 3 ft. XX iD 6.50 60.00 
Endures extreme drought. Requires 
full sun and tolerates no shade. 
—White Pime. 70-80 ft. 20000... 18-24 in. XX .60 5.50 50.00 
In spite of some breakage at times 2- 3 ft. XX 75 6.50 60.00 
from heavy loads of ice, and that an 
occasional spraying may be needed to 
protect it from insect pests, we still 
think White Pine is one of the best of 
all windbreak trees. On a suitable soil 
and location it makes a very long 
lived beautiful tree retaining its 
branches to the ground. Do not plant 
it where drainage is poor nor on soil 
too rich from sometime having been 
a feed lot or having the drainage from 
one across it. After being out of the 
windbreak list for several years, it is 
again becoming available.
