Weare all familiar with the beautiful variety of shades available in evergreens ranging 
from deep, dark green, through all the shades and tints to the palest, most delicate Apple- 
green, providing great usefulness and flexibility for the home landscape. Our scientific 
method of growing evergreens makes for symmetrical development and all specimens 
are top and root pruned into handsome, shapely trees, grown in soil that retains ball in 
digging. We dig our evergreens with an oversized ball of earth, thereby keeping the 
entire root system intact, which assures successful growth after transplanting. Because 
of our strict, scientific methods of growth and handling, you are assured a wide selec- 
tion of the finest plants available in this country.
