Coniferous Evergreens 
Evergreens are always in favor for lanscape work, their deep green foliage making a strong 
background 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 absence of other colors tending to bring out their beauty of form in a most strik¬ 
ing manner. 
It is an undisputed fact that at Fruitland Nurseries we grow the largest and most varied 
stock of coniferous 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 of Thuya, Cupressus, Cha- 
maecyparis, Juniperus, etc., may be found many rare and valuable specimens. We also grow 
large quantities of the hardier varieties, 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 in the open ground, and are afterward 
several times transplanted. Therefore we can offer our patrons plants with excellent root-system. 
Many varieties of conifers are grown in the open 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. 
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING CONIFERS 
Place the plant in the properly prepared hole; cut the string, so that the burlap can be re¬ 
leased from about the ball of the plant, and plant in the same manner as instructions given under 
head of Broad-leaved Evergreens. Keep the plants well watered and mulched. The best seasons 
for transplanting are from November to December, 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 shapelv 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 bv using the above 
mentioned specimens. The prices vary from $5.00 to $100.00 each according to size. Prices of
