EVERGREEN AND CONIFEROUS TREES. 



Fine Evergreens are now everywhere appreciated as indispensable for variety and efiPect and in 

 gi ring color to lawn or landscape, especially in winter. 



The sap of most evergreen trees, beiug of a resinous nature, is not as active in early spring as that of 

 l>eciduous Trees, and as a rule all Evergreen and Coniierous trees succeed better planted later in spring and 

 earlier in autumn than Deciduous material. The latter part of April or during May and the latter part of 

 summer, say in August, are the best times in ordinary seasons for transplanting in this latitude. August 

 planting is not recommended, however, unless the season be favorable. 



It is always important in obtaining Evergreens that the stock should have been properly transplanted. 

 The neglect of this provision and exposure of the roots before planting are perhaps the cause of more fail- 

 ures in transplanting Evergreens than all other causes combined. 



There is no dilBculty in moving Evergreens, even of considerable size, if they have been frequently 

 transplanted so as to move with a ball or with an abundance of fibrous roots, and care is taken that the 

 roots and rootlets are not exposed. 



The following are the best of all the Coniferae, and embraces nearly every variety of value for this 

 climate. Prices for special sizes, or by the 100 or 1,000, on application.
