NURSERY STOCK DEPARTMENT 
Send us your order for nursery stock when you place your 
seed order. Our nursery department will ship the stock to 
you at the proper planting time. Our nursery stock is all 
strong, full of life plants, that are sure to grow. 
EVERGREENS 
We are now offering small evergreens which can be dug and 
shipped by mail. These are small, but well-rooted plants, and 
will be individually wrapped in spragnum moss without a ball 
of earth as this makes them more economical for shipping by . 
parcel post. 
To insure better success in planting we suggest the follow- 
ing rules: 
When trees arrive, the ground should be ready for planting. 
Do not expose the roots to the air. After unpacking the ship- 
ment, place the roots of each tree in a pail or tub of water, 
soaking thoroughly, then plant at once. Be sure the hole is 
deep enough to avoid crowding and spread roots out in their 
natural position, pressing the soil firmly around the roots. 
When three-fourths of the hole has been filled with firmly 
pressed soil, fill the remainder with water two or three times. 
When the water has soaked into the soil fill the remainder 
with dirt but do not tamp. Leave a sHght depression around 
the tree and keep cultivated to keep weeds and grass from 
growing around the plant. Water well every few days, par- 
ticularly in dry weather.

HEDGES 
An ornamental hedge speaks for itself. It frames the 
lawn and gives it a background. On the smaller grounds 
the low hedges are used, while for larger grounds and for 
screening purposes, the larger growing kinds are used. 
In most cases they should be planted one foot apart.
