HOBBS & SONS, BRIDGEPORT, INDIANA A Clurnp of Evergreens of Distinct Varieties. Coniferous Evergreens Evergreens are always in favor for landscape work, their different colored foliage making a strong background for the brilliant colors of summer; but it is in the wTinter, when the North- ern landscape is barren of color and foliage, and the beauty of the Southern greatly lessened, that they are most appreciated, the absence of other colors lending to bring out their beauty of form in a most striking manner. Our Conifers are grown in the most careful and scientific manner. We transplant them several times before allowing them to go out to our customers, insuring a strong fibrous root growth. Trees that have not been several times transplanted and become acclimated to our climate are almost sure to die. Caution. Do not buy cheap evergreens. Unless they have been treated as above stated you will be disappointed with results. Do not let the sun or wind strike the roots of Evergreens even for a few minutes; you wTill kill them if you do. Every Conifer offered in this catalog, unless otherwise stated, is taken from the field with the roots securely closed in a ball of earth and this bound on with a piece of burlap. The roots are never exposed. When you receive the plants, have hole ready, remove burlap (but not dirt), plant immedi- ately, water thoroughly, but do not apply over foliage. Abies - The Firs var.
