Specimen Conifers for Immediate Effect 
The coniters which we herewith offer arc beautiful specimens which have been several times sheared and carefully 
transplanted, and they can, therefore, be lifted with a large ball of earth about the roots. This ball is carefully wrapped 
with moss and burlaps, thus ensuring success in transplanting. 
Many of these trees are 18 to 20 years old, and those who 
desire immediate effect can attain same by using these speci¬ 
men conifers. The accompanying photograph will give an idea 
as to the shape and beauty of these plants. A personal inspec¬ 
tion of these conifers on our grounds is invited. One can then 
'better judge of the value of the trees.

Camphor ( Cinnamomum camphor a) 
The Camphor Tree 
We have a large stock of pot-grown plants, which can be 
shipped and transplanted at any time. Plants grown in open 
ground do not transplant readily. This tree is perfectly 
CAMPHOR, continued 
hardy at Augusta, and does well along the South Atlantic and 
Gulf coasts. It is a handsome evergreen, with bright, shiny 
leaves. Will do well on poor soil, but will make a more satis¬ 
factory growth when properly fertilized. It is being planted 
in large quantities for producing the gum camphor of commerce.
