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. 
We recommend Spring planting for Conifers, but they may also be transplanted successfully in August 
and early in September, if favorable weather prevails at the planting time. 
Those preceded by a t are rare, and only to be had of small sizes. 
Prices are for trees of ordinary size, from 18 inches to 80 inches in height, according to variety. 
Larger trees selected in the nursery charged for in proportion to size.
