Evergreen Trees 



Berckman's Golden Arbor Vitae. Steel Blue Juniper. 



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. 

 Hundred rates given by letter.
