EVERGREEN TREES. 
A most beautiful effect may be produced by planting Evergreens of moderate growtli closely together in beds, care being taken to select 
varieties which contrast in color. The advantages resulting from the general planting of Evergreens are many, and no grounds are complete 
without them. They retain their beauty not only through summer's heat, but through M'inter's cold. 
Once more we call attention to our large and varied stock of Evergreens, and to the advisability of their being more generally planted. 
The increase in value of property ornamented in this way, and the benefits derived 
from having buildings protected from winter's storms by belts or large clumps of 
Evergreens, are many. Every one notices and admires the cheerful and comfortable 
appearance of the homes of the thrifty, who have improved their grounds with Ever- 
greens, and property always commands higher prices in consequence of such 
inipi-ovement. A garden sheltered by tall Evergreen hedges will produce vegetables 
from one to two weeks earlier than an open field. 
If those who wish to plant largely will correspond with or call on us, we will offer 
special inducements on certain varieties in quantity. We recommend spring planting 
for Evergreens. Our trees have been recently transplanted, and are remarkably well 
supplied with fibi-ous roots.
