Book Description

Excerpt from Evergreens: How to Grow Them This work. Like its predecessor, The Gold Mine in the Front Yard. Is designed chiefly for the great Prairie States. The writer having raised evergreens by the million under adverse circumstances, and being acquainted with leading growers East and West, has the pleasure of presenting facts and he is sure he has made instructions lo plain that the intelligent farmer can do his own planting successfully. This is written for the common people and not for experts. In the main he has used English names, and why not? For instance. Over twenty names are given to the Douglas Spruce and its varieties. How much better off would one be for piling up lumber which would never be used? So we give you the Doug las Spruce straight and you will know it just as well as if we piled a ton of names on it.
