J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— EVERGREEN TREES

SELECT EVERGREEN TREES 



Either as single specimens or in groups, evergreen trees give a warmth in winter and cool- 

 ness in summer to the home grounds that can be obtained in no other way. By a judicious 

 selection and arrangement of the varied forms of growth and colors of foliage (light and 

 dark greens, yellows and bluesj eftects can readilj- be produced that are artistic, striking, and 

 permanent. 



Owing to limited space, we offer in this catalog but a few of the hardiest and most useful 

 evergreen trees and, of these, we can give but brief descriptions. The prices quoted are for 

 bushy well furnished trees in sizes that can readily be shipped by express. All are too large 

 for shipment by parcel post. Quotations for larger sizes and for varieties other than those 

 named will be cheerfully given by letter upon receipt of request. 



In digging, each tree is "lifted" with a ball of earth and the roots with the soil encased 

 in burlap.
