The Elm City Nursery Co., New Haven, Connecticut. 
The above illustration shows a handsome White Pine (Pinus Strobus ) about 12 
feet high, with ball of earth carefully secured with burlaps, just dug from a nearby 
block of fine specimens. We have a splendid lot of specimen evergreens. which have 
been so frequently transplanted that large balls of earth can be taken up with each 
tree. Immediate effects can be gained by using these specimen trees. 
Weeping Norway 
Spruce. No end of at¬ 
tractive effects can be 
procured with this ev¬ 
ergreen. 
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 in¬ 
sures their arrival without injury. We gladly ad¬ 
vise, if requested, the shipping method we recom¬ 
mend for individual shipments. 
Prices of Evergreens. 
See following pages for prices of the usual sizes. 
7 lie prices of specimens will vary with each plant, 
as they vary greatly in individual merit. It is de¬ 
sirable to visit the Nursery and make a personal 
selection, but where this is not practicable, we "dll 
gladly make selections for a customer.
