EVERGREENS FOR LAWN. 



Will you please recommend some 

 small varieties of evergreens to plant 

 as specimens in a lawn, and will you 

 state the proper time to start them?

 greens for lawns, Juniperus Sabina, J. 

 communis hibernica, Picea excelsa pyg- 

 msca, or dwarf spruce; Pinus Mughus, 

 or dwarf mountain pine, and Taxus 

 cuspidata brevifolia arc good. All the 

 retinisporas are excellent and hardy. 

 Particularly good are E. plumosa, plu- 

 mosa aurea, pisifera and filifera. For 

 a large lawn the following make splen- 

 did specimen trees if given proper room 

 for development and showing their in- 

 dividuality: Picea Douglasii; Picea 

 pungens glauca Kosteriana, or Roster's
