The following Evergreens are all balled in burlap. It is best 
that you call at our Nursery, select your Evergreens, and take 
them with you, as these sizes are hard to ship. However, we can 
ship them by Dohrn or Burlington Truck. These trees have to be 
boxed or packed separately in baskets.

EVERGREENS ARE NOT HARD TO GROW. All they need is a little reason- 
able care—and most of this care is water and a little cultivation. Water is very 
important, as 70 per cent of evergreens that die is from lack of WATER. One 
good watering, once a week, is much better than watering every day, and 
when you water put 10 to 15 gallons of water to each tree—but don’t wet the 
tops. 
ALL OUR EVERGREENS ARE GROWN AT THE NURSERY IN ALPHA. 
They are all fresh dug from our fields. This is very important, as evergreens 
dry out fast, and if they are out of the ground very long, they will be a sure loss. 
IT WILL PAY YOU TO BUY EVERGREENS FROM THE GROWER.
