CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
Evergreens are always in favor for landscape work, their deep green foliage making a strong back¬ 
ground for the brilliant colors of summer. But it is in winter, when the northern landscape is barren ol 
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 ol 
Biotas, Cupressus, Retinosporas, Juniperus, etc., 
may be found many rare and valuable specimens. 
We also grow large quantities of the hardier varie¬ 
ties, 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 
set 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. 
In transplanting these Evergreens, it is not neces¬ 
sary to remove this wrapping of burlap. Place the 
plant in the properly prepared hole, and merely cut 
the burlap in several places with a knife. Water it, 
and firm the earth well about the roots and keep the 
plants mulched with leaves or straw. The best sea¬ 
sons for transplanting are from November to Decem¬ 
ber, 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 specimen 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 to $100 each, 
according to size. See “Specimen Conifers,’’ pages 
54 and 55.
