CARE OF EVERGREENS 
There is nothing that adds so much to the 
beauty of the city home or farm as a plant- 
ing of evergreens, but you cannot just plant 
them and let them shift for themselves. 
If a dormant tree or shrub is alive when 
you receive it from the nursery it is almost 
certain to live if carefully planted, but an 
evergreen is different. It may be freshly 
dug and have plenty of roots but it is cov- 
ered with foliage and must have plenty of 
water to replace that evaporated from the 
foliage. Of course everyone gives it plenty 
of water when planting but that is not 
enough. It is usually sufficient if it has a 
thorough soaking once a week during the 
first summer. 
Have a depression around each tree so 
that when you water it the water will not 
all run away but will soak down to where 
the roots are. 
Don't omit a watering because there has 
been a shower—it takes a heavy rain to 
soak a foot into the ground. When an ever- 
green looks as if it is sick, it is already 
dead. 
Evergreen, especially Arbor Vitae, are 
very convenient “watering posts” for dogs 
but all you need is to put some 16 inch 
wire fencing around them. But do it now 
and not after the damage is done. 
And there is the Red Spider which begins 
to work when it gets hot and dry. When 
they begin to suck the juice, the evergreens 
will have a grayish cast, or you can easily 
tell if they are present by holding a sheet 
of white paper under a twig and tapping 
the twig. 
The Red Spiders are almost invisible and 
look like specks of dust but are always 
moving. A dose of cold water will check 
them and some Dusting Sulphur will kill 
them. 
WE DO NOT SHIP 
EVERGREENS— 
Because of the excessive cost of packing 
evergreens for shipment, and the shortage 
of expert help for such work, we cannot ship 
any evergreens. You may call for them at 
the nursery, or we will deliver them at your 
home in Rochester. 
BALSAM FIR 
The only fir native to Minnesota. Has 
shiny, bright green foliage. Pyramidal in 
form and is useful in mixed plantings of 
evergreens as it is a very beautiful ever- 
green. 4-5 ft., $6.00.
