The Elm City Nursery Co., New Haven, Connecticut. 
The Nursery grounds about the office are attractively laid out, displaying a large assort¬ 
ment of rare and beautiful trees and other desirable material for landscape-planting. 
Parties wishing special sizes and grades for special plantings will do well to give our 
stock a personal inspection. 
Choice and Rare 
Evergreens. 
Evergreens are a specialty with us and our col¬ 
lection includes many rare and beautiful specimens 
as well as a large stock of the more common sorts. 
We are fortunate in having soil conditions very 
favorable for their development, both of top and 
root. We transplant and root-prune all our ever¬ 
greens frequently, which practically insures their 
successful transplanting, even of the larger speci¬ 
mens. 
How to Ship Evergreens. 
We recommend hauling by teams when delivery 
is within economical distance. Small orders to dis¬ 
tant points can be boxed for shipping by freight 
or express, but where a number of specimen trees 
are to be sent, we advise shipping in bulk in car lots; 
this saves the cost of boxing and insures their arrival 
without injury. We gladly advise, if requested, the 
shipping method we recommend for individual ship¬ 
ments. 
Prices of Evergreens. 
See following pages for prices of the usual sizes. 
7 he prices of specimens will vary with each plant , as 
they vary greatly in individual merit. It is desirable 
to visit the nursery and make a personal selection, 
but where this is not practicable, we will gladly 
make selections for a customer.

practical to call personally, write us your requirements
