We have no wild or imported evergreens to offer at any price, as we grow all of our trees from seed, here in our nurseries. Nursery grown trees are worth from 50$ to 500$ more than wild trees, which are often worse than worthless. After thirty years' experience in growing and shipping evergreens, we feel that we are in a position to fill your wants as well, or a little better, than any other nursery. No matter how far you live from us, we pack so that stock will reach you in good growing condition. Special Hints in Regard to Planting Evergreens.—The proper time to plant Evergreens is either in September or in April and May. They do not do well if planted late in the fall. DO NOT PLANT TOO LARGE TREES, especially if they are to be shipped any distance. 12 to 18 inches in a good transplanted grade is the best size for shipping for wind-break purposes. Use extra care not to expose roots to the air for an instant. Pack earth firmly about the roots, using water while planting if ground is dry. After planting keep ground loose around the top by fr
