LET’S ALL HELP! 
CAN YOU GIVE YOUR COUNTRY A FEW HOURS OF YOUR SPARE TIME: 
To make more room at our Nursery we are disposing of the Seedlings, Transplants and Trees listed here- 
in. 
Now is the time to take advantage of this offer which may not happen again. If you have any spare 
acreage we advise you to plant same in Evergreens. We are always in the need of Xmas Trees which 
if planted about 6 or 8 ft. apart will in about 7 years net you a very nice income. 
Xmas Trees properly spaced and given an opportunity to fill out and are not shaded by other 
trees “which make them one sided or straggly at the top,’’ can demand a better price. Our rec- 
ommendation for Xmas Trees is First, Balsam Fir, Second, White Pine and Third, Scotch Pine. 
A FEW HINTS AS TO THE TIME AND HOW TO PLANT TREES, 
We find that to get the best results is to plant them after April Ist to June 15th. In the 
Fall after September 31st to November 15th. 
On arrival all plants should be watered and if possible planted right away. If this cannot be done 
then they should be heeled in immediately. The main thing to watch out for is to see that none of 
the roots are exposed to the air. 
When planting them it is best to place them in a pail of water and carry same along, taking one out 
at a time when planting. The best part of the soil for most Evergreens is the top soil as more 
nourishment is derived from the top soil than a few feet down. 
Most Cities are short of local Nurseries and for that reason Nursery Stock is high. If you want to 
start a small Nursery then this is the opportune time because a much larger price can be secured 
from Nursery Stock for Landscaping than on Xmas Trees, altho there is a little more work involved.
