CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
It is a well-established fact that we grow the largest and most 
varied stock of Coniferous Evergreens in the Southern States, 
and especially such varieties as are best adapted to this climate. 
We also grow large quantities of many of the hardy varieties which 
are adapted to the East and West. In our collection of Biotas, 
Cupressinae. etc., are to be found many rare and valuable sorts. 
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 al¬ 
ready started new roots. All plants, both from open ground and 
pots, are shipped with a ball of earth around the roots, same 
being wrapped in burlaps or moss. The best seasons for trans¬ 
planting are from November to December and from February to 
March, but in the lower sections, where the ground does not re¬ 
main frozen during the winter, planting can be successfully done 
any time when the ground is in proper condition. We have a superb 
•ot of shapely specimen plants of many varieties of conifers. These 
are from ten to fifteen years of age and have been several times 
sheared and transplanted, and those desiring immediate effect 
will secure it by using the above-mentioned specimens. The pic¬ 
tures on page 39 will convey an idea of the beauty of these 
specimens. The prices vary from $5 to £50 each, according to size.
