Biota Aurea Nana—We believe this to be the 
best dwarfish evergreen in cultivation. It is a 
compact grower with yellow foliage, always 
shapely, and one of the most popular ever¬ 
greens we have. Where a small-growing sort 
is wanted, we know of no other kind so de¬ 
sirable as this splendid variety, which may be 
used either singly or in groups for lawns, for 
borders or for banking in front of porches. 
This evergreen is most satisfactory and should 
not be overlooked in the smallest planting

Permit me to say that many things | 
you have shipped to this section have l 
proven highly satisfactory. The ever¬

grown into most beautiful specimens. I 
the barberry and other shrubs purchas¬ 
ed by next door neighbor have also been | 
particularly satisfactory.

Biota Conspioua—This is a beautiful pyra¬ 
midal evergreen of intense golden foliage. It 
is a variety we have never been able to get a 
large stock of, because most everybody seeing 
them desire some of them among their plant¬ 
ings. They are almost pyramidal and of dense 
foliage, and owing to their beautiful golden 
color they make a fine contrast among other 
varieties. Each Per 10

Biota Pyramidalis—Compact and of narrow 
pyramidal growth. Its branches are short and 
densely clothed with bright green foliage. It 
retains its color throughout the winter better 
than many other sorts, and for this reason, to¬ 
gether with its attractive pyramidal form, it 
is one of the most valuable evergreens. They 
are appropriately used for entrance, walks, 
corners, porch columns, piers, etc., and are 
also pretty and attractive in groups and various 
other plantings. Small ones are used among 
window box planting or tubs and porch boxes. 
We have a good lot of these that run 2 to 3 
feet and 3 to 4 feet, many of which have been 
sheared, that are splendid specimen plants.
