Grounds," says of it: — "No engraving can do it justice; like the j)lam trees of the tropics, it must be seen 
in motion, swaying in the lightest breeze, its leaves trembling in the heated summer air, its white bark glist- 
•ening through thel)right foliage and sparkling in the sun, to enable us to form a true impression of its char- 
acter." By express or freight, not prepaid, 5 to 6 ft., $1.25 each, 3 for $3.50, 6 for $6.25, 12 for $12 00.

EVERGREENS. 
The trees which we offer here are all nursery grown, trans 
planted stock. In transplanting never allow the root> 
to be exposed to the sun for a single moment. A mulch- 
ing of straw or leaves -will be found very beneficial, 
especially in dry seasons. Allow them to branch freely 
near the ground. This prevents the soil drying up 
quickly around the roots and adds to the beauty and 
effectiveness of the tree. They should be planted at a 
time when the earth is warm and they can commence 
growth immediately,
