Evvergreens 
These Evergreens have been transplanted. They 
have good roots and well balanced tops. They 
are not to be compared with seedlings so often 
offered. They are 5 to 7 years old and are the 
same that we plant in our open fields to grow 
into larger trees. 
Keep them well moist the first year: also cul- 
tivate them good. 
By using these trees you can landscape your 
home for $10.00 to $15.00 and in three years you 
will have a planting worth over $75.00. It is 
just a case of you growing the trees or the 
Nursery growing them.
