Coniferous Evergreens. 
Evergreens 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 Biotas, Cupressus, Retinosporas, 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 th-e most careful and scientific manner. Nearly all of the open-ground plants 
have been grown one year in pots and then set in the open ground, and are afterwards several tinves trans¬ 
planted. Therefore we can offer to our patrons plants with excellent root-systems. Many varieties of conifers 
are grown in tire 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. 
Place tire 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 Decern 
ber, and from February to March, but in the lower sections, where the ground does not remain frozen during 
the winter, planting can b-e successfully done any time when the ground is in proper condition. We have a 
superb lot of shapely specimen plants of many varieties of conifers. These are from ten to twenty vears 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 “Speci¬ 
men Conifers,” page 60.
