N EVERGREEN has leaves all winter—tready to 
do their work if the day chances to be warm 
enough. For this reason extra water must be given all 
newly-planted evergreens. Twice a week for a month. 
eal 
Evergreen roots contain resinous sap which hardens 
after exposure to the air for longer than two or three 
minutes. This is ample time to plant and firm a small 
evergreen, but it should be left in its moist packing un- 
til the moment of planting and watered soon after 
planting. For the two above reasons, larger evergreens 
are shipped with a ball of earth wrapped in burlap 
(“B&B”). This is not necessary in smaller sizes if 
simple precautions are taken as above.

Since the leaves are always ready to function, ever- 
greens have no thoroughly dormant season (unlike de- 
ciduous plants). Transplanting is therefore done later 
in spring, and much earlier in autumn than other trees 
and shrubs.
