A good windbreak not only will protect the feed lots and the 
home from winter winds, but will cut the fuel bill. And, once 
established, it practically takes care of itself. 
The average windbreak is designed to protect from north and 
west winds, but the location depends upon the direction of pre- 
vailing winds, and the buildings, orchards, or crops to be pro- 
tected. The one illustrated above has the minimum number of 
rows of trees. In most areas, and for most purposes, you will want 
more rows. Generally speaking, a windbreak should start low on 
one side, go to taller ones, and then back down to low ones 
again. If you are in doubt, consult your local County Agent, 
of write to us.

WELCH’S SELECTED 
Here are young evergreen 
trees that will grow into beauti- 
ful specimens with just a little 
care. We ship them at the cor- 
rect planting time in a special 
moss that keeps the roots moist. 
These are NOT balled and bur- 
lapped evergreens, as they need 
not be in these sizes. But they 
have been transplanted three 
times to give them a_ heavy, 
compact root growth. 
May we call your attention to 
the fact that our pictures show 
the mature plants, or what the 
young evergreens will look like 
after they have attained some 
growth. You need to know 
what they will look like when 
mature so as to know where to 
THE CHOICE KINDS IN SMALL, 
EASY-TO-PLANT SIZES AT 
PRICES AS LOW AS SHRUBBERY 
place them. Do not ever crowd 
an evergreen planting. A 
spreading Pfitzer, for instance, 
looks small when planted, but 
in a few years it spreads con- 
siderably. 
- How to Plant Evergreens 
Your -tree arrives with the 
roots packed in moss; keep it 
that way until the hole is dug. 
Do not expose the roots to air 
any more than you have to. If 
they look dry, soak them in 
water a few minutes before 
planting. Be sure to keep any 
evergreen at least 3 feet from 
the house foundation and 4 or 
5 feet is better if you can pos- 
sibly do it. Water well in dry 
spells, both summer and winter.
