EVERGREEN TREES. 
Ill the winter season, when the landscape is bare of vegetation, the hardy forms of evergreen trees become 
more and more necessary to the American planter. Their exquisite winter aspect and their varying shades of 
color through the year, give them the highest value in ornamental planting. In planting all evergreens, the 
soil should be firmly and thoroughly pressed down,in close contact with all the roots; the latter should never 
be allowed to get dry before planting. Once diw, an evergreen has small chance of living. Heavy watering 
at the time of planting and thick covering of the soil above the roots with coarse manure or litter, are essen¬ 
tial to success in planting evergreens. “ Use no manure ’’ in contact with the roots, this is most important.” 
ABIES (PICEA). Spruce, 
Abies, Alba (White Spruce) — Light, silvery-green 
foliage and dense, pyramidal growth. Hardy in 
all locations. 2 to 3 feet, 50c.; 3 to 4 feet, 75c. 
Specimens, 4 feet, $1 to §2. 
A. Canadensis—(I-Iemlock Spruce)—A lovely native 
tree, of loose, open growth, unless it be"pruned, 
when it makes a very dense bush. Whether as a 
single specimen or as a hedge plant it has no equal. 
18 to 24 inches, 35c.; 2 to 3 feet, 50c.; 3 to 4 feet, 
75c.; 3 to 4 feet, heav 3 % 75c.; 5 to 6 feet, 81.50 
to .‘§2. 
A. Excelsa (Norway Spruce)—An elegant tree of per¬ 
fect pyramidal habit. Has fine, graceful, pendulous 
branches. It is exceedingly picturesque and beauti¬ 
ful. One of the best evergreens. IS inches to 2 feet, 
25c. 2 to 3 feet, 35c.; 3 to 4 feet, 75c.; 4 to 5 feet, 
$ 1 . 
A. excelsa var. inverta (Weeping Spruce)—This 
makes a beautiful specimen on the lawn; foliage is 
larger and brighter than the common spruce. The 
branches of a large tree are as drooping as those of 
a willow. 2 feet, •‘§1; 3 feet, .fl.50; 4 feet, ^2 to 
.*§2.50. 
A. pungeiis (Rocky Mountain BlueS.)—The Queen 
of the Spruces, in its best form. A dense growing, 
symmetrically pyramidal tree with stiff, pointed 
foliage, which varies in color in its various forms 
from deep green to the showiest silvery gray. Ex¬ 
tremely handsome and verj' effective. As a lawn 
plant or for grouping with other evergreens it is 
unsurpassed. 18 inches, .'§2; 2 feet, $3; 2^/^ feet,

spreading growth of brilliant golden color. Valu¬ 
able for edging and grouping. 50c. to 81-

mental i)lanting. 50c. to 81-50. 
PICEA (ABIES). Fir, 
P. Concolor syn. lasiocarpa—This we consider one 
of the finest of evergreen trees. We believe this 
splendid Rocky Mountain tree will yet displace the 
well-known “ RlueSpruce(Picea pnngens)in popu¬ 
lar favor. It is more graceful and featheiy than 
the latter, is its equal in color, and as it grows 
older, retains its lower limbs better, so that alto¬ 
gether it is superior, especially for permanent plant¬ 
ing. 12 to 18 inches, 81-50; 2 feet, $2; 3 feet, 84. 
P. Nordinaniana—This majestic fir, is of symmetri¬ 
cal form, vigorous and quite hardy. Its foliage is 
massive, dark green, shining above and slightly 
glaucous below, rendering it a very handsome tree 
throughout the year. Considered one of the finest 
of the Silver Firs. 2 feet, 81 to 81-50; 3 feet, .81.50 
to 82. 
P. Pectiiiata (Silver)—A distinct and beautiful spe¬ 
cies. It is a compact grower, the branches being 
thickly set on the stems, foliage dark green: quite 
hardy. One of the best. 2 to 3 feet, 75c. to 81; 
3 to 4 feet, -81 to .81.50. 
FINDS. Pine.

robust, hardy, spreading tree: leaves long, stiff and 
dark green; growth rapid. 2 fret, 35c. to 50c.; 3 
feet, 50c. to 75c.; 3 to 4 feet, 75c. to .81.

very foliage, which is long and pendulous. 50c. to 
75c. 
P. Muglio (Dwarf)—Of the highest value where a 
low, dense, spreading growth i« desired. Vei*y dark 
foliage and extremely hardy. 50c. to $1- 
P. Strobus (White Pine)—The most ornamental of 
all our native pines; foliage light, delicate, of sil- 
ver 3 ^ green; flourishes in the poorest soils. 2 to 3 
feet, 35c. to 50c.; 3 to 4 feet, 75c. to 81; 5 to 6 
feet, 81-50; G to 8 feet, 81-50 to 82.50. Sped- 
mens, $5.

an, is the toughest and hardiest of pines. Foliage 
much more silvery than the Austrian. 2 to 3 feet,

75c.; 3 feet, 81-25. 
RETINOSPORA. Japanese Cedar. 
Rctinispora Filifera (Thread Branched)—A beauti¬ 
ful tree of very elegant appearance, with bright 
green foliage. It is pyramidal in outline, and par¬ 
ticularly graceful on account of the ends of its 
shoots drooping on long filaments, some of which 
are tesselated. 50c. each; 2 to 214 feet, 75c. each; 
214 to 3 feet, 81 each. 
R. Filifera Aurca—A lovely bright golden form of 
the preceding. Equally hardy and most valuable. 
81.50 to 82.50. 
R. Lei>toclada—This grows in an upright form as
