For Year-Round Beauty, Permanence and Value, the Evergreen 
Has No Equal in Foundation Planting 
Grown in Monroe, Michigan, under the most exacting care, Ilgenfritz 
Evergreens merit your full confidence 
All our larger evergreens are dug B&B. This means that they have been dug with a ball of 
earth and are wrapped in burlap. That is the safest way to transplant them. Because of this, 
the initial cost is higher. : 
But because of their longer life and superior year-round landscape beauty, evergreens will 
ultimately both save you money and give your home a more distinctive landscape setting.
