CLIBRANS’ CONIFERS. 
The great variety of form and colour among Conifers, and their genera) 
hardiness, render them extremely valuable for ornamental planting. They 
make striking objects either planted singly or in groups, and if judiciously asso- 
ciated with deciduous and ornamental trees, wonderful effects may be produced. 
In the following list we have aimed at offering only the most popular and 
most useful coniferous trees. 
All have been recently transplanted, are excellently rooted and well- 
furnished, special care having been taken in planting so as to ensure safety in 
removal.
