COLORADO CONIFERS* 
Several of the Colorado Conifers have already a world-wide reputation. Others have only 
to be introduced to attain as general popularity. All the following are superior collected stock 
from the open hillside and far enough above the plain to be in the rain belt, all of which tends to 
make good fiberous roots, thrifty tops, and plants which will stand transplanting much better 
than those taken from shady woods, or even from crowded nursery rows. 
Owing to the lateness of the spring in the mountains no collection of Conifers can be done 
until fall, as late spring collecting would necessitate shipment during hot weather. Orders 
should be given now, so that ample preparations can be made in advance of the collecting season 
which is necessarily short. 
Where less than twenty-five or more than 100 of one kind are required, kindly send a list 
for special estimate. Large sizes and specimen plants can be furnished of most kinds. Packing 
and boxing is done in the most thorough mauner and for which there is no extra charge.
