Fifty years ago, it might be said, the Evergreen or Con¬ 
ifer family as geiierally known commercially in the United 
States, witli few exceptions, consisted of about three or 
four varieties. Even not more than twenty years ago ?i 
dozen or fifteen sorts seemed to satisfy the retpiirements 
of the trade demand. Today there are in general nse 
upwards of a hundred varieties, all differing in more or 
less degree in form, foliage, and habits of growth. Each 
answering a definite pnr])ose, each filling a definite de- 
HALF A CENTURY

We have foimd that the main thing with Evergreens is careful handling. This 
means at both ends. We cannot do it all—yon must do yonr part. For best results, 
small Evergreens should be bedded out under shade for two years in‘rich soil where 
they can be frequently watered, after which they can be transplanted out into nursery 
rows, with little or no loss.
