Cone- Bearers, or Evergreens 



This group embraces some of the most beautiful trees and shrubs in cultivation, from which it is 

 possible to select varieties adapted to almost any soil or climate. The Evergreens are becoming more 

 and more popular, and deservedly so, because they are stately and majestic as individuals and strik- 

 ingly effective and imposing in masses. They retain their foliage and are just as attractive in winter 

 as in summer, varying so much in foliage, shape, outhne, height and color that it is possible to make 

 very pretty combinations, and, owing to the fact that they stand se\'erc pruning and shearing, it is 

 possible to retain an Evergreen planting at practically any reasonable height or size. 



We list only the best varieties that are hardy in our cold New England climate. Our Evergreens 

 have been frequently transplanted and are shipped with compact balls of roots wrapped and sewed in 

 burlap. This method of handling insures the plants against loss.
