Of many of the following named plants we can supply large specimens. Prices, sizes and descriptions 
will be given upon application. Our stock was never larger nor better. 
Most of tfle plants are grown in pots, thereby increasing safety in transplanting, and with less danger 
of loss from removal. Those marked “O. G.” are taken from open ground, but lifted with balls of earth 
about the roots and wrapped in moss and excelsior. We must impress the necessity of defoliating nearly all 
Broad-leaved Evergreens lifted from open ground before being forwarded. This will lessen the loss from 
transplanting, as many trees are lost if transplanted with all the leaves left on. After plants are set out 
in permanent positions, let the ground be covered with some mulching material, either leaves, coarse manure 
or straw. This will prevent too rapid evaporation, and greatly increase the growth. 
A crenulata rubra. Same as the above, but more at¬ 
tractive, as the plant is covered with a profusion of 
showy red berries.
