HARDY EVERGREEN TREES

Fresh dug for each order, we do not handle peddler stock, which is really dead before planting. Insist on fresh dug evergreen trees, dug with a ball and burlapped. Keep them out of wind and sun until planted. Dig hole deep and wide enough easily to admit the earth ball. If you cannot plant immediately keep them in cool place with burlap wet: dip in tub of water for a few minutes be¬ fore planting.
