Coniferous  Evergreens 
IVERGREEXS  are  our  great  specialty.  To  produce  the  finest  in  the  United  States 
has  been  our  aim  for  o\  er  a  quarter-centur)-.  The  successful  transplanting  and 
handsome  growth  of  "Moon's  Evergreens"  have  become  prover- 
bial, and  the  ever-increasing  demand  is  both  reward  and  incentive. 
^  The  soil  of  the  Glenwood  Nurseries  is  especially  adapted  to  the 
growth  of  E\  ergreens,  insuring  fine,  fibrous  roots.  Frequent  root-pruning  in  mid- 
summer and  early  autumn  also  contributes  largely  to  their  success  when  trans- 
planted, and  our  method  of  shipping  specimen  trees,  with  balls  of  earth  and  burlap 
covering  about  the  roots,  practically  insures  fine  growth  when  planted  again.  Ever- 
greens may  be  planted  in  spring,  or  \vith  equal  success  later,  in  August  and  Sep- 
tember. They  cannot  be  valued  by  height  alone  ;  the  shearings  frequently  given 
them  are  to  reduce  their  height  and  make  them  grow  into  beautiful  symmetrical 
specimens.  Spindling  odds  and  ends  might  measure  more  than  our  well-pruned, 
bushy,  symmetrical  young  trees,  and  yet  not  be  worth  the  planting. 
This  fact  makes  it  very  difficult  to  describe  evergreens  fully,  and  accounts 
for  difference  in  price  where  but  slight  difference  in  height  occurs.    At  Glenwood
