In no other class of nursery stock are prices usually so de¬ 
ceptive as they are in evergreens, because the height shown 
in the list gives no idea of the quality. Quality is represent¬ 
ed by the bushiness of the plant and the number of times it 
has been transplanted, because transplanting is what pro¬ 
duces the fibrous root system, so all important to an evergreen. 
Good feeding is also necessary to impart health, vigor and 
the rich color to the foliage. 
Our aim is to produce the best. Health, vigor, good color 
and an abundant root system, and to accomplish this, we 
transplant our evergreens every two years into new, heavily 
manured ground. 
All evergreens are dug with ball of earth and the ball 
sewed in burlap. The cost of this is included in the price 
quoted in the catalogue.

Abies Veitchii is a Japanese Fir, thoroughly tested and 
found to be perfectly hardy in the United States and is one 
of the finest evergreens. In form of growth it is like the Sil¬ 
ver Fir. The under side of the foliage is a silvery-grey which 
imparts a soft, handsome tone to the plant.
