The planting of Oaks for ornament has been done 
but little on account of their supposed slow growth. 
They grow quite as rapidly as other hard wood trees] 
and the pin Oak is of very rapid growth, and one of the 
very finest trees in cultivation.

EVERGREENS. 
The prices quoted are for trees frequently transplanted and of fine shape, suitable for ornamental planting. When it 
is desired to make extensive plantations, extremely low prices can be made by the 100 and 1,000. Evergreens should be 
planted in the spring. Many seasons they can be planted safely in September, but the risk of shipping at this time is 
great on account of hot weather. 
Rare evergreens, not obtainable in this country, will be imported to order.
