EVERGREEN TREES 
For many years we have given close attention to the propagation and cultivation of evergreen 
trees, and our present stock comprises a large collection of all the best kinds. We grow and catalogue 
only those varieties that can be most successfully transplanted, and can recommend and furnish no 
other sorts than those named herein. 
Evergreens are exceedingly difficult to transplant and they should never be set in the fall. In 
planting, the soil should be firmly and thoroughly pressed down in close contact with all the roots. 
Heavy watering at the time of planting and for some weeks thereafter is essential to success.

from the American, with heavy golden foliage 
and quite dwarfish.
