Evergreens 
Our evergreens are mostly moved with larger balls than usual, or with ball of earth where it has not been customary 
Large balls of earth are a decided advantage on Long Island. Our prices are low and the degree of permanent success is high. 
The picture shows how several hundred can be cheaply delivered, August and September is an excellent time, and so is the 
spring. By our methods we move evergreens all the year. 
RE.TINOSPORA, continued 
R. plumosa. C. pisifera, var. plumosa. Usually in 
the shape of a pyramid 3 to 8 feet high and wide, 
with light green foliage. 
R. plumosa aurea (Golden japan Cj^press). C. 
pisifera, var. plumosa aurea. This is the best 
known variety. Its deep golden yellow foliage 
is brilliant all the year and adds a cheerful note 
to the landscape. 
R. squarrosa (Blue Japan Cypress). C. pisifera, 
var. squarrosa. The silvery blue member of 
the family is a charming little tree. Its bright 
and fleecy foliage and happy expression win 
.friends for it winter and summer. 
R. filifera. C. pisifera, vdiY. filif era. This is a light 
green pyramidal tree, with thread-like branches, 
8 to 14 inches long, gracefully arching over its 
surface. 
R. obtusa. C. obtusa. This distinct species differs 
from the graceful and delicate forms of the above 
in being dark green, strong, rugged and hardy 
in appearance. In Japan it is an important tim- 
R. obtusa, continued 
ber tree, and is worthy of general planting here. 
Fifth avenue auction rooms sell at fabulous 
prices the Chabo Hiba as 200 years old, the 
heirlooms of the ancient families. The skilful 
Japanese manufacture them from this species, 
twisting it in grotesque forms and grafting on 
numerous little branches of the dwarf variety. It 
then resembles the quaint gnarled plants made 
by patient dwarfing and starving in little pots for 
several generations. 
R. obtusa nana (Japanese Dwarf Cypress). C. ob- 
tusa nana. A curious compact little plant, con- 
torted as if it struggled with fate on the cliffs of 
alpine summits or by the sea, where the wind 
twisted and buffeted it about. Each plant grows 
after a different plan. It may be used in rock- 
gardens or wherever a touch of darkest green in 
small form is needed. A weird and unique 
plant. There is a golden form of this beautiful 
variety. 
Raising evergreens from seed in the middle Atlantic states has not been customary, because it is 
easy to import or to grow from cuttings; but such are not all reliably hardy or happy in dry soil. We 
have grown evergreens from seed of Long Island trees and others of .similar climates. It has required 
scientific knowledge, foresight and skill. The result is ready. Will you take advantage of it? Ever- 
greens mean comfort and beauty. They are coming into fashion. It is right that they should, because 
the beautiful and hardy evergreens are now available.
