We do Not Ship Evergreens 
On account of the excessive 
cost of packing evergreens for ship- 
ment, and the shortage of expert 
help for such work, we cannot ship 
any evergreens. 
You may call for them at the 
nursery, or we will deliver them at 
your home in Rochester.

DOUGLAS FIR— 
This is a fine ornamental evergreen of 
graceful proportions, good color, rapid growth 
and extreme hardiness. It makes a large tree 
and should be planted where it will have 
plenty of room. Should be included in a 
mass planting of evergreens. 2-3 ft., $1.50; 
3-4 ft., $2.50; 4-5 ft., $4.00; 5-6 ft., $6.00. 
SHEARING EVERGREENS 
Evergreens planted on the lawn can usually 
be allowed to grow about as they like, but 
those planted near the house must be properly 
sheared or they will not only get too large 
but will often become open and scraggy. This 
shearing is easy to do and most anyone can 
do it but it is very important that it be done 
at the proper time. The shearing will be 
much more satisfactory if done every year so 
it will not be necessary to cut anything except 
the present year’s growth. In cutting this 
new growth there should be at least an inch 
left on each twig as this will encourage the 
production of new buds from which next year’s 
growth will start. 
Shear Mugho Pine the first week in June, 
Spruces during the latter part of June. 
Junipers and Arborvitae may be sheared 
in early spring if they had not been sheared 
the summer before, to be followed by the 
usual summer shearing. The regular annual 
shearing of these varieties may be done any- 
time from June through August, probably the 
best time being the latter part of -July.
