HEMLOCKS — A Leading Specialty 
at Barr’s 
The Hemlock with its graceful branches, and beau- 
tiful, neat, needle foliage can well be made the basis 
of many fine plantings. Its informality of outline is 
particularly pleasing. On the open lawn it makes a 
handsome specimen, but wherever planted it is never 
out of place. Will remain small many years if 
sheared regularly.

men planting or in groups on the open lawn, or

When Building A New Home 
It is advisable to budget 6-10 percent for landscaping. Real estate men agree an investment of 6-10 
percent of the cost of the house in Evergreens, Trees, and Shrubs increases the value at least 10 per cent and 
your enjoyment of your home to an immeasurable extent. 
At. the very beginning of operations put aside the amount you propose spending for landscaping. With- 
out good landscaping a house gives the appearance of “something wanting,” or not being finished. 
We shall be pleased to furnish estimates and sketches on contemplated plantings without cost. Our 
56 years experience is yours for the asking. 



Evergreens transplant best during the Spring months, before and 
just as new growth is beginning, or for several months following 
August 15 when the new growth is completed and has become 
sufficiently hardened. 
The excavation for planting should be considerably larger and 
deeper than the encased roots so as to allow liberal space around 
the ball for filling in with rich soil. Do not remove burlap, only 
loosen it at top and roll back as indicated in illustration. Care- 
fully pack soil under earth ball. Mix 10% Peat Moss or rotted 
manure in the soil used for back fill, and % lb. Vigoro, or BARR’S 
special fertilizer to a wheelbarrow load of soil. When hole is two- 
thirds refilled, FLOOD WITH WATER. 
In restoring the remainder of the excavated soil allow a shallow 
basin to remain around the tree to collect the rain and enable 
it to soak into the ground. Mulch with well-rotted manure or 
Peat Moss to conserve the moisture in the ground and keep it from
