Coniferous Evergreens 
A GROUP OF CONIFKKS AT FRU1TLANI). 
We believe that we may claim to grow the largest and most varied stock of these plants in the Southern States and e«=peciallv 
of such varieties as are best adapted to this climate. The collection of Biotas, Cupressiu®, etc., comprise many new and valuable 
varieties. 
Most of these plants are grown in pots from the time they are propagated, or during part of the year in open ground and 
potted off in fall. 
Biotas and Retinosporas, which always form a mass of fibrous roots, are grown in open ground, but lifted for shipment with 
the roots in a ball of earth, which reduces the loss in transplanting. We would again urge the nocessit v of planting small, healthy 
pot-grown plants in preference to larger specimens, which can only be furnished from the open ground, and with these ’there is 
always connected some risk in transplanting. We append the height the different varieties may be expected to attain. The best 
seasons for transplanting are from November to December, and from February to March. 
Prices for plants grown in 4 and 5-inch pots, or from open ground, 50 cents each. 
10 plants, our selection of varieties, 84. 
We can supply fine specimen plants of many varieties at 81 to 810 each, according to size.
