We offer some of the best species of this well-known genus, and an immense stock of splendid trees. They are easily transplanted, like other evergreens, from the open ground, but prefer autumn and winter. The Arborvitae is especially suited for making hedges, and may be grown on any land not too excessively wet, or dry. The young plants should be set about 18 to 24 Inches apart, in a properly pre- pared soil; we think deep digging and thor- ough manuring to be essential for all ordi- nary lands. The best hammock or loamv soil may not need manure, but should be spaded and well pulverized before planting. Topping and shearing the plants may be- gin at the option of the grower. T. compacta.

Part of our Conifers are in open ground and part in pots; the large specimen trees are in the open^ but are easily moved during cool weather.
