EVERGREENS 
SPACING EVERGREENS. Evergreens are so very 
long-lived that what is correct in youth is crowded 

after 25 years. Generally speaking, plants from 12 to 
36 inches should be spaced three feet apart and re- 
arranged at the end of 5 to 10 years. 
DELIVERY COSTS. Prices include packing only on 
small, bare-root sizes—NOT on sizes marked “B&B’’. 
Boxing is usually about 10 % of the price additional. 
Express on small sizes is low—but on plants (B&B) it 
is about 40%. We will estimate cost in advance if 
you wish.
