This Office has been favored with a
complete catalogue and pric list of the
Evergreen Nurseries, of Evergreen,
Wis. This nursery is we'll known
throughout the west, having been
many years established. The propri-
etor. Mr.. Geo. Pinney, has probably
distributed more evergreens and forest
trees through this state than any other
man in the country. Although he
raises and sells millions of forest trees
annually, his speciality is evergreens.
He plants hundreds of pounds of the
seeds every year, and now has nearly
three hundred varieties on his lists,
fully equalling the largest nurseries in
Europe. which supply the nurseries of
royalty. Of course, having such a
large trade and growing them in such
large quantities. he is able to give bet
ter prices for the same quality of trees
than any other nurseryman in the
country. It is well worth the while
of any person to send for his lists.
