EVERCREEN TREES. 
Evergreens are exceedingly difficult to transplant, and they should never be set in the 
fall. Even when planted in the spring, and under the most favorable circumstances, a 
large percentage are liable to fail. In the hands of amateurs, failure is almost certain in 
all cases. For this reason, we do not like to sell evergreens, yet we can supply the varie- 
ties described below, when desired. We'cannot furnish sorts not named in this catalogue.
