Coniferous Evergreens 
E . v .?. r S reens j are always in favor for landscape work, their deep green foliage making a strong background for 
the brilliant colors of summer; but it is in winter, when the northern landscape is barren of color and foliage, and 
the beauty of the southern greatly lessened, that they are most appreciated, the absence of other colors tending to 
bring out their beauty of form in a most striking manner. 
It is an undisputed fact that at Fruitland Nurseries we grow the largest and most varied stock of conifer 
ous evergreens in the southern states, and especially do we give attention to such varieties as are best adapted 
to this warmer climate. In our collection of Thuya, Cupressus, Chamaecyparis, Juniperus. etc., may be found 
many rare and valuable specimens. We also grow large quantities of the hardier varieties, adapted to the northern 
part of the country. • 
Our conifers are grown in the most careful and scientific manner. Nearly all of the open-ground plants 
have been grown one year in pots and then in the open ground, and are afterwards several times transplanted 
Therefore we can offer to our patrons plants with excellent root-systems. Many varieties of conifers are 
grown in the open ground during the summer, lifted in the early fall and potted, and, before being shipped 
plants have already started new roots. All plants, both from open ground and pots, are shipped with a ball of 
earth around the roots, which is wrapped in burlap or moss. 
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING CONIFERS. 
Place the plant in the properly prepared hole; cut the string, so that the burlap can be released from about 
the ball of the plant, and plant in the same manner as instructions given under head of Broad-leaved Evergreens, 
Keep the plants well watered and mulched. The best seasons for transplanting are from November to December, 
and from February to March, but in the lower sections, where the ground does not remain frozen during the 
winter, planting can be successfully done any time when the ground is in proper condition. We have a 
superb lot of shapely plants of many varieties of conifers. These are from ten to twenty years of age. and 
have been several times sheared and transplanted. Those desiring immediate effect will secure it by using the 
above-mentioned specimens. The prices vary from $5.00 to $100.00 each according to size. See’*‘Specimen 
Conifers,” page 52.
