CHOICE CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS. 



The Coniferous Evergreens are indispensible in all ornamental plantings. They impart a finish to the landscape by their quaint 

 or symmetrical growth, and whether planted as single specimens on the lawn or grouped together in masses, the light green, golden 

 or silver-blue colors of their foliage are beautiful, winter and summer alike. We offer below a short but select list of the hardiest 

 and easiest grown varieties:
