MISCELLANEOUS ORNAMENTAL AND FLOWER-

are unsatisfactory, such as Cut-leaved Mountain Ash, Weeping Ash Kilmarnock

EVERGREENS, BROAD-LEAVED AND CONI- 
FEROUS. 
t.Vec^x^^" ago it was thought that evergreens in Te.xas, and particularly in 
West Texas, were a failure but time has proved quite differently. It is true that such 
trees as the Pine, Spruce, Larch, Yew. some of the Cypresses Ld ui ipers X S 
always give satislaction to the planter, yet every gl^den can haVe thf h’eautiful 
Arborvitte, Retinospora, Wild Peach, Red Cedar, Bol, Etionymus. and thatgrandes 
of all evergreei^ the stately Magnolia ; while in Southern and Eastern Texas the 
Cape Ja.smine, Oleander, Pittosporum, etc., grow to perfection ’ 
While evergreens are often transplanted in the fall, yet we find that spring plant- 
Zrlh To ™°'-«f“«?ssful, and we would advise our friends, particularlHLsrin 
North Texas, to plant m the spring, say from p'ehruary ist to March isth ^ 
Never expose the roots to the air or sun ; plant the dirt firm/y around the roots 
water and mulch, and they will be as sure to grow as peach trees. ’
