DWARF CONIFERS \ 
Simulated forests or specimens of these small evergreens are equally effective in 
sloping rock gardens. Neat without being prudish, they vary in outline from ‘ 
columnar and conical shapes to low mounds or oushions. All are very slow growing 
and, although some will eventually reach heights out of proportion to the small 
rock garden, any of them will be in proper scale for certain locations. Very 
small plants at 25¢, re ones at BO¢ and 75¢, and full -grown specimens at 
stated priccs. Ultimate heights only are given.
