DWARF CONIFERS 
These delightful little trees make excellent accent points for the 
rockery, and provide a variety in texture, as well as giving interest- 
ing winter color. They are small, slow growing varieties which will 
not become too large and have to be replaced after a year or So. 
Many of the varieties listed below are rare sorts which we have 
imported. We are definitely short on small sizes, in many varieties. 
We do have large specimens in almost every kind, and will be glad
