Select Evergreen Trees. 



Exhibit of Evergreen Trees at the Monmouth County Fair, rgii, 



Owing to limited space, I name but a few of the hardiest and most useful evergreen trees, and of these I can 

 give but brief descriptions. The prices quoted are for bushy, well furnished trees in sizes that can readily be shipped 

 by express. Quotations for larger sizes and for varieties other than those named will be cheerfully given by letter 

 upon receipt of request. 



In shipping, each tree is "lifted" with a ball of earth and the roots, with the soil, encased in burlap. 

 Twelve of any size will be supplied at ten times the price of each annexed — six or more at dozen rates.
