Evergreens 
e offer the most complete line of ever- 
reens that can be seen in the mid-west. 
Evergreens are invaluable for beautifying 
grounds. They are used for specimens on 
the lawn and also extensively for massing, 
shelter-belts, screens, and hedges. 
For planting around the house as a foundation 
planting, they give a color and warmth that 
cannot be obtained with any other tree. Only 
an inspection of our stock can give an ade- 
quate idea of the variety of color effect they 
present. 
A good many fail with evergreens on account 
of improper treatment. EVERGREENS MUST 
BE HANDLED FRESH. FREQUENT WATER- 
ING AND CULTIVATION during the first 
year will guarantee success.
