Evergreens 


The  tremendous  demand  for  Evergreens  this  past  season 
has  used  up  a large  part  of  our  evergreen  supply. 

In  the  items  listed  below  we  have  a fair  stock.  In  many 
other  items  we  have  a few  plants  of  several  sizes  but  not  in 
sufficient  quantity  to  warrant  listing. 

On  application  we  will  be  glad  to  send  an  itemized  list  of 
our  evergreens  to  all  those  interested. 

In  comparing  the  prices  of  our  evergreens  with  those  of 

other  nurseries  keep  in  mind  that  our  plants  are  frequently 

transplanted  in  order  to  secure  a good  fibrous  root  system, 
they  are  sheared  from  time  to  time  as  needed,  consequently 
they  are  all  bushy,  well  formed  plants. 

All  of  our  evergreens  are  balled  and  burlapped  at  the 
prices  quoted  and  the  burlap  is  sewed  on,  not  just  tied  with 
rope.
