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 of 
color and foliage, and the beauty of the southern greatly lessened, that they are most appreciated the ab¬ 
sence of other colors tending to bring out their beauty of form in a most striking manner

have been grown one year in pots and then in the open ground, and are afterward several times transplant
