How to Plant Balled and Burlapped Evergreens 
Follow directions as outlined in picture above. If ball of earth appears hard 
and dry upon arrival, soak it in a tub of water before planting. Leave saucer around 
base of tree so that drainage will be towards tree. Do not put fresh manure in 
hole so it comes in contact with the roots. Use well-rotted manure and spread it 
on the ground after tree is planted and hole filled up. Keep ground well culti- 
vated or mulched. When watering, see that ground is soaked to a depth of 12 or 
15 inches. Just sprinkling the surface is not enough.

Summer Care of Evergreens 
With the advent of hot, dry Summer weather, ever- 
greens should be given plenty of water and carefully 
guarded against red spider attack. This pest is a very 
small mite, barely visible. If allowed to become numer- 
ous on evergreens that mite will, through its habit of 
sucking sap from the foliage, cause them to lose their 
characteristic colors and assume a “‘rusty’’ appearance. 
Red spider can readily be controlled by the employ- 
ment of one of the following methods: 
1. Syringe the foliage with water under pressure 
from garden hose or power sprayer, taking particular 
pains to secure a forceful spray applied from under- 
neath the foliage. 
2. Spraying with a glue spray consisting of 1% Ib. 
of a cheap grade of ground bone glue in 5 gals. of 

water. (Dissolve the glue first in a small amount of 
boiling water.) 
3. Dust with sulphur liberally on a warm day, using 
a superfine commercial brand of dusting sulphur. 
Follow directions. If used as recommended no injury 
Avoid spray- 
will result from any of these treatments. 
ing an evergreen in the middle of the day as water alone 
will sometimes result in injury by scalding at such 
times. Repeat treatment six days after first application 
to kill young spiders escaping in egg stage and remem- 
ber that applications should be made as often as neces- 
sary because of continual reinfestation.

insect pests and plant diseases of nursery stock will be 
gladly furnished upon request.
