-HOW TO GROW EVERGREENS SUCCESSFULLY 
Important Rules We Urge You to Follow. 1. Examine the trees at express, freight*or 
truck office, and call any damage to tHe attention of the agent at once, as all trees are 
in perfect condition when they leave the nursery. 
2. Have your ground ready for planting by the time the trees arrive. It should be 
good growing soil such as you would use for a corn crop or garden, and prepared in 
much the same manner.-If there is sod where you wish to plant, strip this sod to a 
width of 1 ft. greater than the spread of the tree, planting the trees in the center of 
the space. Thoroughly work and pulverize the soil from which the sod has been 
stripped. 
Expose Roots To The Air As Little As Possible. 3. Always plant as soon as the trees 
reach you. Do not expose the roots to the air. When you have everything ready to 
plant, unpack the shipment, putting the roots of each tree into a pail or tub of water 
and soak thoroughly, then plant at once. 
Plant Deeply And Firmly. 4. Plant deeply and firmly, spreading the roots out in their 
natural positions, and press the soil around each tiny root. Evergreens should be 
planted from 2 to 6 inches deeper than they were in the nursery row, depending on 
the size of the tree. At the top of the ground, leave a little loose soil to prevent the 
ground from baking. Several days after planting, and after any severe wind or heavy 
rain during the first season, once more stamp the ground with extreme firmness around 
the roots. 
5. Start cultivation at once; cultivate well and often during the growing season. 
This should be done for the first 2 years. Evergreens will not thrive or give best re- 
sults in a weed patch. If you cannot cultivate, give them a very heavy mulching of 
well-rotted straw or old sawdust as soon as your trees are planted. 

INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED SPECIMENS 
What This Means 
In the past many succéssful planters have 
used INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED  Ever- 
greens, packed in sphagnum moss. This 
Water Well. 6. If you are having dry weather at planting time, you should water 
evergreens thoroughly about every other evening until you get a soaking rain. Do 
this through all dry spells for the first year or two. This is especially necessary in 
foundation plantings of ornamental evergreens, where the trees get a strong reflection 
from the sun and the ground dries out more readily. Evergreen trees act as an umbrel- 
la over the ground where their roots are planted, so they require considerable more 
moisture than shrubs-or shade.trees. Oftentimes.atter heavy rains.the roots which are ~ 
directly under the umbrella-like branches of an evergreen remain dry. 
7. See to it that your young grove is securely fenced when planted, regardless of 
locality. Nothing is more injurious to young evergreens than livestock in the yard to 
trample them down. 
8. For Individually Wrapped Specimens. Remove all of the packing material, soak 
the roots very thoroughly, and plant at once, following closely Rules | to 6. 
9. For Seedling Evergreens. Plant them in a garden plot or in beds for the first two 
years, following the same directions we give in 3, 4 and 5, but setting them 8 or 10 
inches apart. A partial shade through the first summer is always beneficial, and give 
them plenty of moisture during dry periods. 
10. For Balled and Burlapped Evergreens. Dig a hole about twice the size of your 
ball, and plant the tree at once. If the ground is dry at planting time fill the hole with 
water, and let it soak away before putting in the tree. Take care to handle the tree 
carefully so as not to break the ball, place it in the hole so that the tree will be a 
few inches deeper than it had been in the nursery, then cut the burlap at the top of 
the ball, rolling it back for 3 or 4 inches. Plant ball, burlap and all, using good grow- 
ing soil to pack around the ball, and be sure to pack this soil firmly.

year we are wrapping the smaller and 
medium size specimens in this manner with- 
out extra charge. We have found this the 
most economical and successful method 
for speeding up transportation of specimen 
trees. «7 
B&B MEANS BALLED AND BURLAPPED 
The tree is dug with a solid ball of rich, 
heavy loam in which it has been growing 
for years, completely covering and protect- 
ing the root system. The ball is firmed and 
held in place by a secure covering of bur- 
lap and twine. The average weight of a 
2,3 ft. specimen when balled and bur- 
lapped is 65 pounds. They are shipped by 
freight or express (your choice). We rec- 
ommend express because” of the quicker 
service, but freight shipments can be en- 
route three or four weeks without damage 
to B&B evergreens. To customers who are 
located 500 miles or more from us, we rec- 
ommend your checking with your express 
agent on the shipping costs, figuring 65 to 
100 lbs. per B&B tree. If the rate is too high, 
we advise you to use the smaller sizes, In- 
dividually Wrapped. 
We do not believe it is necessary to Ball 
and Burlap the smaller and medium size 
specimens, for with INDIVIDUAL WRAP you 
get more economy and quicker service. This 
season we can Ball and Burlap only those 
evergreens marked “B&B”.
