BARGAINS in Evergreen Seedlings 
For a small investment you can, in a few years, develop a paying crop of Christmas 
Trees. You can also greatly increase the appearance and value of your property by 
planting hedges and windbreaks of Evergreens. Plant a few of them in the garden and 
grow them a few years before setting in a foundation planting. Planting instructions 
with each order.
