Evergreens present a broad opportunity for plant lovers to produce rich and beautiful effects that cannot be 
surpassed by any cther class of plants. Evergreens are used as specimens on lawns, also extensively for massing, 
shelterbelts, screens, hedges, etc. Many varieties adapt themselves and are indispensable in your foundation plant- 
ing. They form perfect backgrounds for the flowering shrubs of early spring, for the berries of autumn and win- 
ter’s tracery of bright bark and twigs. Beautiful beds of permanent color are formed by grouping together sorts 
of moderate growth with contrasting foliage . . . To be successful in planting Evergreens, the planter should 
use great care to obtain stock that has been frequently transplanted while growing to insure a thick, fibrous root 
system. We are very careful to offer only such stock as will measure up to these very important requirements, 
thereby saving our customers from disappointment ... In the larger size Evergreens it is necessary, for the best 
results, to ball and burlap the roots. This consists of digging the trees with a solid ball of dirt and wrapping in 
burlap so that the roots are not disturbed . . . We keep a large assortment of Evergreens in our sales yard, dug 
fresh every day, and consequently, it is not necessary to go out into the fields to select your trees.
