Specimen Conifers 
For a number of years we have been growing large 
quantities of Specimen Conifers. These plants have 
been very carefully grown. They have been several 
times transplanted and sheared, and are perfect speci¬ 
mens. To those desiring immediate effect, and who 
do not mind the cost, we can recommend these Speci¬ 
men Conifers. Many of the plants offered in the ac 
companving list are upwards of twenty years of age. 
The photogsaph shown on page 59 will give an idea 
of the immediate results obtained by these plants. They 
are lifted with a large ball of earth about the roots, 
which is carefully wrapped with moss and burlap. In 
shipping the plants, they are carefully crated, except ia 
carload lots, when it is not necessary to crate them.
