We're very proud of our Evergreens this season. Every Evergreen we list is dependable and grown from dependable seed. We have gone to considerable expense in our Nursery in transplanting, shearing and root pruning these Evergreens. You can’t depend on results in transplanting Evergreens unless they are properly cared for in the Nursery. Beware of hillside collected Evergreens.

What an improvement in appearance and also in dollars and cents, a few Spirea will add to any property.
Very soon after planting it blooms in riotous extravagance and its beautiful maidenhair foliage on slender, drooping branches is a very pleasing picture throughout the entire season. In May and June, it is covered with a perfect cascade of dainty white flowers, crowded thickly along slender branches, bending to the ground in perfect curves, greatly resembling a fountain of snow. It is so popular that we sell more of this than any other shrub we grow. Only because we grow them in such quantities can we make such a price.
