EVERGREENS. 
The selection of Evergreens is usually attended with some difficulty and confusion. To obviate this, we have 
endeavored to state the character and limitations of the. best varieties. We are testing all the hardy species that 
can be procured, and if our customers desire any that are not catalogued, we can probably supply them. Our 
large Evergreens have been root-pruned, which renders transplanting much more sure to be successful. 
Prices, 30 cts. to $1. Specimens and rare varieties priced on selection. 
EVERGREEN TREES. 
ARB OR VTT2E (Thuya). The varieties of Arbor- 
vitae differ greatly in form, but all are hardy trees, 
which transplant readily. For jumping-hurdles 
they are the best Evergreens, the tops being soft 
and flexible. 
American. This rapid- growing variety is excellent 
for screens and garden hedges. Low rates in 
quantity. Large specimens furnished. 
Siberian. The 
Siberian is 
the best kind 
for hedges, 
where height 
is not the 
first consid- 
eration. The 
foliage is 
compact, re- 
quiring little 
clipping, and 
the color is 
dark green 
all the year. 
We furnish 
this variety 
for winter 
decoration 
and tubs. 
Booth's. A 
globular , 
slow-growing 
form, suita- 
ble for ceme- 
tery hedges. 
We do not 
recommendit 
for la wn spec- 
imens, as the 
grass grow- 
ing up among 
the branches 
kills the 
lower foliage 
and mars its 
symmetry. 
Pyramidal. 
Among Ever- 
greens this 
variety holds 
the same 
place as 
the Lom- 
bardy Poplar 
among decid- 
uous trees. It is a narrow columnar tree, hardy 
and vigorous, and should be used to group with 
evergreens of lower form. 
Golden (Peabody's). Color effect a clear, shining 
golden yellow. Superior to other golden varieties 
pf the American Arborvitse. 
Rollinson's Golden {Biota otientalis, var. elegan- 
Hssima). This variety of the Chinese Arborvitae 
is distinct from the others. The upright, flat 
branches are held edgewise to the center of the 
tree, the tips are bright yellow in summer and 
chocolate-brown in winter. 
AUSTRIAN PINE. 
Our Tree Movers move and transplant large specimen 
Evergreen or Deciduous Trees, so that they grow as if undis- 
turbed. For further particulars, see pages 2 and. 3. 
CEDAR, Red. This common native tree is not 
appreciated. Its tall, pyramidal form is a striking 
point in the landscape and formal garden. For 
planting near the sea and on dry ground it is the 
best. On a large tree-mover we can furnish speci- 
mens up to 30 feetahigh, either round or upright. 
FIR (Abies). The Firs are^a class of ] lawn trees 
marked by elegance and dignity. Besides the fol- 
lowing, there 
are in stock 
several va- 
rieties not 
catalogued. 
Balsam. The 
Balsam, or 
Balm of Gii- 
ead Fir, of 
northern for- 
ests. It is a 
tall, slender 
tree of dark 
foliage. The 
lower limbs 
die when it 
reaches 20 
feet in height, 
but as it is a 
cheap tree it 
may be used 
for tempo- 
rary plant- 
ing between 
other varie- 
ties, and as 
a back- 
ground for 
trees with 
lighter foli- 
age, bark or 
flowers, as 
Retinospora. 
squarrosa. 
White Birch 
or Deutzia. 
Good for 
Christmas, 
trees. Foli- 
age of strong 
balsamic 
odor. 
Nordmann's. 
As a speci- 
men Ever- 
green, this 
stands without a peer. The foliage is wide, thick, 
dark green and lustrous. The undersides of the 
leaves are glaucous, and the effect oi bright sunlight 
brings out its remarkable beauty. Its moderate 
compact growth adapts it to small lawns. Having 
coarse, long roots, it usually transplants with diffi- 
culty. Most of our specimens have been trans- 
planted once in 2 years, and have fibrous roots. 
2 feet high, 75 cts.; 3 to 4 feet, $2 and upward. 
Large specimens up to 12 feet. 
Silver. Similar to the last, but more open in habit, 
and with thinner leaves. 
Concolor. A new and rare species from the Rocky 
Mountains. Leaves are curved upward, and light 
bluish green. Hardy and vigorous, with color- 
equal, or superior, to Colorado Blue Spruce. 
NORDMANN'S FIR.
