Of course, it is now too late to dig or 
ship anything more before spring, but we 
have chosen an evergreen,—the beautiful 
Hemlock Spruce,—as an illustration, be¬ 
cause the winter aspect of evergreens when 
buried in their overcoats of snow, is one of 
their most attractive features. 
Stock which looks good to people during 
the winter, will be largely ordered by them 
in the spring. 
We do not specialize in Evergreens,— 
like Brutus does,—but we have some 
mighty fine blocks of practical northern- 
broke varieties, grown right, and available 
at proper time in spring at ordinary com¬ 
mercial prices.

We had a big snow storm here which 
shut down shipping, and may have disap¬ 
pointed a few late-comers,—but in general, 
our fall delivery has been quite complete, 
and a criterion of better times. 
Naturally, our thoughts now turn to¬ 
wards spring. Our cellars are well filled 
with a good assortment of fruit trees and 
the smaller ornamentals, besides consider¬ 
able imported stock; so that we are in good 
shape to take care of early orders for set¬ 
ting aside. 
Those who didn’t order for fall delivery 
until the ground froze, we expect to get in 
for spring before the leaves appear;—Ex¬ 
perience being a most efficient teacher. 
Wishing you all a “Merry Christmas,” 
we are gratefully and sincerely yours,
