Nut Trees 
No Trees Are More Valuable 
Than Nut Trees 
Nut trees provide food, shel- 
ter, shade and lumber. The 
walnuts and pecans are particu- 
larly good for shade, and the 
walnut also is prized for its 
valuable wood. You probably 
will want to plant the Thomas 
. Black Walnuts and pecans close 
in as their nuts are too valuable 
to share with marauding squir- 
rels and school boys. The others 
will make your ‘waste’ land 
pay.

WELCH’S SELECTED 
Evergreens 
Here are young evergreen 
trees that will grow into beauti- 
ful specimens with just a little 
care. We ship them at the cor- 
rect planting time in a special 
moss that keeps the roots moist. 
These are NOT balled and bur- 
lapped evergreens, as they need 
not be in these sizes. But they 
have been transplanted three 
times to give them a_ heavy, 
compact root growth. 
May we call your attention to 
the fact that our pictures show 
the mature plants, or what the 
young evergreens will look like 
after they have attained some 
growth. You need to know 
what they will look like when 
mature so as to know where to 
THE CHOICE KINDS IN SMALL, 
EASY-TO-PLANT SIZES AT 
PRICES AS LOW AS SHRUBBERY 
place them. Do not ever crowd 
an evergreen planting. A 
spreading Pfitzer, for instance, 
looks small when planted, but 
in a few years it spreads con- 
siderably. 
How to Plant Evergreens 
Your tree arrives with the 
roots packed in moss; keep it 
that way until the hole is dug. 
Do not expose the roots to air 
any more than you have to. If 
they look dry, soak them in 
water a few minutes before 
planting. Be sure to keep any 
evergreen at least 3 feet from 
the house foundation and 4 or 
5 feet is better if you can pos- 
sibly do it. Water well in dry 
spells, both summer and winter.
