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. 
The 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 gladlv 
make selections for a customer. 
Specimen Trees, Shrubs and Vines of extra size or un¬ 
usual shapes. You may be in need of something very 
special for some particular location. From our extensive 
stock of specimens one can often find just what they need. 
If not practical to call personally, write us your require¬ 
ments and we will correspond with you as to what we have 
which may be suitable. 
“ Thank you very much for your excellent choice, the trees look delightful and make a great 
improvement.”
