SPECIMEN CONIFERS 
Below we give a list of some very fine specimen con¬ 
ifers which have been several times sheared and trans¬ 
planted. I11 transplanting, all of these specimens are 
lifted with a large ball of earth about the roots. This 
ball of earth is carefully wrapped with moss and 
burlap, thus ensuring success in transplanting. 
I he increasing demand for these large conifers 
speaks for the popularity with which they have been 
received. Many of the plants which we offer are twenty 
years of age. The accompanying photograph will give 
some idea of the symmetry and size of plants we offer.
