Coniferous Evergreens 
We believe that we may claim to grow the largest and most varied stock of these plants in the Southern States and especially 
of such varieties as are best adapted to this climate. The collection of biotas, Cupressime, 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. * 6 ’ 
BIOTA AUREA NANA. 
Biotas and Retinisporas, which always form a mass 
of fibrous roots, are grown in open ground, hut lifted 
for shipment with their roots in a ball of earth, which 
reduces the loss in transplanting. We append the 
height the different varieties may beexpected to attain. 
The best seasons for transplanting are from November 
to December, and from Ferbuarv to March. 
Wecan supply fine specimen plants of many varieties 
at §1 to $10 each, according to size. We will supply 10 
fine plants, distinct varieties, our selection, 12 to24 
inches, $4. Or, 100 fine plants, in 25 or 40 varieties, our

The most popular of all Biotas. A new variety which 
originated in our grounds. Of very dwarf and compact 
habit, a perfect gem for small gardens or cemetery lots. 
It far surpasses the old Biota Aurea where a very 
dwarf tree is desired. This plant is very effective for 
window boxes and for tubs in exposed places, where it 
is too cold for palms and other decorative plants.
