PRUNING HEDGES.—In this case it is desirable to prune during the growing season, that the growth may be stunted and the growing out of side-shoots to thicken, encour- aged. SHIPPING SEASON.—The pop ular idea that Evergreens should be planted in June only is false, and the cause of many failures. Practi- cal experience proves that this is not always the best time, but that they may be safely moved in early spring or fall. AVe find the best time for moving Conifers in spring is from April 20 to June 1st; and in fall from August 1st to September 15th. The cuts of Evergreens shown in these pages wrere all taken from trees in my nursery. American Arbor Vitae. (Thuya Occidentalism A handsome tree of regular and symmetrical habit. Growth thick and bushy; one of our best and most useful evergreens; excellent for screens and hedges. Hovey's Golden Arbor Vitae.

PRUNING.— Except for hedges the best time to prune Conifers is previous to their growing season, and caretul use of the pruning knife will often revive a tree which otherwise may be on the de- cline. ROOTS.—It is very impor- tant that Conifers should have an abundance of fine fibrous roots when planted, and this can only be obtained by fre- quent transplanting of the stock at the nursery. We exercise the greatest care to have our trees fre- quently transplanted or root pruned, to insure
