EVERGREENS. 
ARBORVIT.$, American. This plant is, all things considered, the finest Evergreen 
for hedges. It is very hardy and easily transplanted, few plants failing if properly 
transplanted specimens are obtained and good 
care given in their managem ent. It grows rapidly 
and with little care, or rather by easy manage- 
ment, it soon forms a most beautiful hedge, very 
dense, and perfectly impervious to the sight. It 
er adapted to turn stock, but it forms a 
most desirable and ornamental screen to divide 
the lawn from other grounds. 
Pyramidalis. The most beautiful of all Arborvitaes, 
having dark green compact foliage and remark- 
ably erect form ; perfectly hardy. 
JUNIPER, Irish. Very erect and tapering in its 
growth, forming a column of deep green foliage. 
A pretty little tree or shrub, and a general favor- 
ite for its beauty and hardiness 
PINE, Austrian or Black. A remarkably 
robust, hardy, spreading tree ; leaves 
long, stiff, dark green ; growth rapid ; 
valuable for this country. 
Scotch. Fine, robust, rapid-growing, with 
stout, erect shoots, and silver-green 
foliage. 
White. The most ornamental of our 
native Pines. Foliage light, delicate or 
silvery green ; flourishes in poorest soils. 
Colorado Blue Spruce. 
f Evergreens are beautiful all the year, and 
form gmnd specimens in time. We strongly re- 
commend our customers to plant more largely of 
hardy sorts. In the windy west they are of 
especial value for screens, hedges and wind- 
breaks. We offer best sorts at good rates.

indigenous to Kansas. Makes a fine 
ornamental hedge plant ; hardy and 
reliable. 
SPRUCE, American White {Abies alba). 
A tall tree, with compact branches and 
light green foliage.

points on the prairies of the west and 
northwest with perfect success, endur- 
ing a temperature of 30° below zero, in 
exposed situations, entirely uninjuied. 
One of the hardiest Evergreens, and 
the most beautiful in color and out- 
line ; foliage of a rich blue or sage 
color.

pyramidal habit, remarkably elegant 
and rich, and, as it ages, has fine, 
graceful, pendulous branehes ; exceed-
