Evergreens 
Evergreens are always in favor for landscape work, 
their varied colored foliage affords an excellent background 
for the brilliant colors of summer, but it 1s in winter, when the 
landscape is barren of color that they are most appreciated. 
Our conifers are grown carefully and scientifically, 
insuring a strong fibrous root growth. Trees that have been 
several times transplanted become established more easily. 
Planting time in this area should be done between April and 
May, and during September, October and November. Ever- 
greens are dug “Balled and Burlapped” (B&B) at the prices 
quoted. 
PLANTING TIME FOR EVERGREENS: The ideal 
time is from September Ist until November 15th and from 
April 1st until May 15th.
