GROWING OF EVERGREENS 
EVERGREENS ARE NOT HARD TO GROW. All they need 
is a little reasonable care—and most of this care is water and a 
little cultivation. Water is very important, as 70 per cent of ever- 
greens that die is from lack of WATER. One good watering, once 
a week, is much better than watering every day, and when you 
water put 10 to 15 gallons of water to each tree—but don’t wet 
the tops. 
ALL OUR EVERGREENS ARE GROWN AT THE NURSERY IN 
ALPHA. They are all fresh dug from our fields. This is very im- 
portant, as evergreens dry 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.
