CLASS IV.—CONIFERS. (Evergreens) 
Note.— Many fine conifers are entirely too tender to be cultivated successfully at the North, and we 
have therefore dropped them from our list. 
We are now giving special attention to the propagation and culture of perfectly hardy species and 
varieties, such as are most useful to the general planter. 
Il'e recommend Spring planting for Conifers, but (hey may also be transplanted successfully in August 
and early in September, if favorable weather prevails at the planting time. 
All Evergreens will be lifted with ball of earth, and roots wrapped in burlap. 
Prices are for trees of sizes indicated. Larger trees charged for in proportion to size. 5 of one variety 
will be furnished at 10 rate. 25 of one variety will be furnished at 100 rale.
