: EVERGREENS P.RE NOT HARD TO GROW. All they need is a little reason- 
© care—and most of this care is water and a litile cultivation. Water is very 
™MPportant, as 70 Per cent of evergreens that die is from lack of WATER. One 
eee watering, once a week, is much better than watering every day, and 
vase you water put 10 to 15 gallons of water to each tree—but don’t wet the 
Ops. 
ALL OUR EVERGREENS ARE GROWN AT THE NURSERY IN ALPHA. 
°Y are all fresh dug from our fields. This is very important, as evergreens 
Y out fast, and if they are out of the ground very long, they will be a sure loss. 
IT WILL PAY YOU TO BUY EVERGREENS FROM THE GROWER.
