The Cultivated Conifers 
By Dr. L.H. Bailey $7.50 
The conifer enthusiast will find this the most com¬ 
plete and authoritative book on conifers that has yet 
been written. It covers 39 genera, 275 species, and 
57 others (including specie hybrids). Dr. Bailey has 
carefully inquired into the adaptability, ruggedness, 
ornamental qualities, life, rate of growth, propaga¬ 
tion and planting of the conifers. Species and 
varieties together, the inventory of conifers in this 
book puts approximately 1,000 kinds at the command 
of the propagator and planter. 
To avoid confusion, and verify the current ac¬ 
ceptance in nomenclature, each species is entered 
under both vernacular name and the current botanical 
name. 
Landscaping uses and commercial growing are 
touched upon in this book, and miscellaneous in¬ 
formation about the use of the conifers and their 
fruit or seeds is included.
