This is a fc 'close-up " view of the left-hand section of the 

 main garden, showing the manner in which hardy perennial 

 and annual plants are mingled among the evergreens to lend 

 color and gaiety to the scene. 



The varying size and age of the plants is also clearly shown. 

 A few specimens of nearly all varieties are growing in these 

 beds in order that visitors may observe the various types in 

 different si^es and stages of their growth. 



These plants are moved many times to encourage a dense 

 mass of fibrous roots, which are the real feeders of a plant, 

 rather than heavy tap-roots which are difficult to dig and are 

 almost impossible to move without injury. These often- 

 moved evergreens can be lifted easily without damage, at 

 almost any season of the year, and transplanted by our skilful 

 workmen with little danger of loss. 



This same plan of frequently transplanting evergreens is 

 continually practiced in our nursery work. The same careful 

 attention is given to individual plants in the fields as is given 

 these chosen ones in the garden, clipping and shaping them 

 so that all the plants we grow, no matter how small, are 

 choice specimens, which after leaving the nursery, will give 

 maximum satisfaction to the purchaser with the minimum 

 care.
