EVERGREEN TREES
Price, 3 to 4 feet, $1.50 to $2.50 each.
For local delivery Evergreen trees, with the exception of pines, are taken up with a ball of soil on the roots, which is securely covered with burlap. In planting, dig a hole where tree is to stand, place tree in hole just as received from the nursery, cut the string that holds burlap in place, and, if soil is un- broken, lift tree gently and remove all bur- lap. If soil is broken and likely to fall away from the roots, do not attempt to remove the burlap, but lay it out smooth from the stem of the tree. Fill in carefully with fine, moist soil, which should be made firm enough by tramping to prevent roots being moved by the tree swaying in the wind.

HINTS ON PLANTING
First — Avoid any unnecessary exposure to roots of trees and plants from the time of leaving the nursery until planted.
Second — On arrival of trees dig a trench wide and deep enough to receive roots. Take trees from bale; place roots in trench, spread out and wet roots thoroughly and cover well with the moist soil, firm with the feet and let remain till ground is ready for planting.
Third — See that the ground is thoroughly and deeply pulverized. Dig holes larger and deeper than necessary to receive roots in their natural position without bending.
Fourth — Take trees from trench, a few at a time, as wanted. Place trees in center of hole and fill in with fine top soil, working same well among roots. When roots are cov- ered 5 or 6 inches deep pour in a bucket of water. When water has settled finish filling, then rake level, leaving top soil loose.
Fifth — When through planting, if fruit trees, go over them with a sharp knife or shears. If one-year-old trees there will usually be but one stem, which should be cut back to a uniform height of about two and one-half feet from the ground. If two years old there will be from three to six branches; cut out all but three or four limbs, suitable to form a top, and cut each of the side limbs back to four or five inches from the body of the tree, leaving the leader or center limb from 10 to 24 inches long. Shade trees should be cut back to uniform height of eight to ten feet from the ground.
Sixth — If weather is warm and dry, water every sixth or eighth day as long as hot weather lasts. Soil should be stirred with hoe, as soon as dry enough to work mellow, after each watering.
Seventh — If trees are very dry and shriv- eled when received, bury in moist soil for four or five days, and they will become fresh and plump. If frozen, do not open bale or box, but bury until frost is drawn out. Never han- dle trees in frosty or windy weather. Never put manure in hole with roots. Set trees an inch or two deeper than they stood in the nursery.
