SEEDS OF CONIFEROUS TREES 
-- 
As most lovers of Coniferse take an interest in raising plants from seed, we think it may prove useful to 
give a list of those kinds which are to be procured in the ordinary way of trade. This list has been 
prepared by Messrs. Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., of Paris, the well-known seed-growers, whose house 
may be described as the main source from whence nurserymen in all parts of the world draw their 
supplies. Messrs. Vilmorin have special collectors in every country, whose business it is to collect 
the seeds and forward them to Paris. The eminence which this house has attained for the purity and 
“ true” quality of its seeds, affords a sufficient guaranty to the purchaser. 
The following list contains those kinds of seeds only of which the supply is constant, except in 
those years when the crop is a failure. On special application, however, we understand that seeds of 
nearly all the species described in this work will be procured if in any way possible. 
The names to which an asterisk (*) is prefixed indicate those which are rare, and of which the 
supply is limited.
