EVERGREENS 
Evergreens are always in favor for landscape work, their 
varied colored foliage affords an excellent background for the 
brilliant colors of summer, but it is in winter, when the land- 
scape is barren of color that they are most appreciated. 
Our conifers are grown carefully and scientifically, insuring 
a strong fibrous root growth. Trees that have been several 
times transplanted become established more easily. Planting 
time in this area should be done between April and May, and 
during September, October and November. Evergreens are 
dug “Balled and Burlapped” (B&B) at the prices quoted. 4 
PLANTING TIME FOR EVERGREENS: The ideal time is from 
September Ist until November 15th and from April lst until 
May loth.
