The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
CONIFERjE. 
In the following list we have aimed at offering only the most popular and useful kinds. They are most striking objects either 
planted singly, or in groups, and if rightly placed amongst deciduous and ornamental trees the effect is very pleasing. 
All have been recently transplanted so as to ensure as far as possible safety in removal, abundance of room and attention have 
been given so that each tree may be a perfect specimen. Our trees are all hand pruned with a knife, which is a most important point. 
We offer well shaped plants, suitable for potting or window boxes, in good variety, our selection.
