DWA^RF CONIFERS 
These delightful little trees are quite indispensable to the well- 
planned rock garden. Many of those listed below are very rare sorts 
which have been imported. They are small, slow-growing varieties 
which will not become too large and have to be replaced after a few 
years. It is quite difficult in some cases to find the right name for 
these pygmy trees, so, to avoid confusion, we are listing them all under 
the heading of Dwarf Conifers.

foliage.
