Transplanting Evergreens

.
Thanks to the ease with which the
annual flowers respond. newly built
homes are easy to supply with color
during their first summer. But it
is during the first fall and winter
that bleakness shows itself. We're a
few evergreens present, the whole
picture would be changed. Warmth
would be added to the winter scene.
Transplanting the needed ever
greens can be done successfully in
any part of the country during the
next several weeks. BaIed and bur-
Tapped trees are not likely to be
found in stores at this season. Even
if they were, they probably would
not be what you desired. To insure
the success Of the venture the holes
should be dug for the trees just be-
fore the trees are purchased. Have
the nurseryman dig them while you
wait. Buy only as many ~ you
can plant within several hours Of
digging, and then plant them inside
that time limit.
