SPECIMEN EVERGREENS 
In case the labor situation becomes more acute by digging time we reserve 
the privilege of cancelling orders for sizes of specimen evergreens which cannot 
be well handled as follows: lifting the tree with what dirt will adhere to the 
roots and filling in with peat, making a peat ball which can be planted the 
same as a dirt ball. Do not remove the burlap. Water well after planting and 
apply a mulch to hold the moisture. The stock listed in this section has mostly 
been sheared as it grew and is well filled.
