INDOOR CHRISTMAS TREES 
Firs, Spruces, Pines, Cedars and Sequoia gigantea make 
excellent indoor living Christmas trees, later planted in the 
garden. These trees come with a ball of soil around the roots 
that must be kept moist. We can supply tubs at small addi- 
tional cost. Soak burlap in water, wring out and pack firmly 
between tub and ball. Renew moisture every 3 or 4 days. 
Before planting, test the ball with your thumb. If dry and 
hard, plunge in a bucket of water for a minute or two.
