Broad Leaved Evergreens 
These are easily transplanted and grow very 
rapidly, therefore they should never be over- 
looked when ordering. You will always have a 
vacant place for a few. All the leaves should 
however, be cut off before planting, otherwise 
they often fail to grow.

ceeds almost every where. It is of rather slow 
growth, compared with other evergreens. Re-

excels. Fine 1 year plants, 25 cents each;
