156 A LITTLE GARDEN THE YEAR ROUND 



in the matter of enhancing the home landscape 

 by the judicious planting of attractive Ever- 

 greens. Our own Hudson River Valley hill- 

 sides and those of some other parts of Amer- 

 ica contain a hint of decorative value in the 

 casual growth of small Cypress-shaped Ever- 

 greens. 



In selecting Evergreens for particular pur- 

 poses the following hints as to appropriate spe- 

 cies may prove valuable to the garden begin- 

 ner. For dry soil: Juniperus Virginiana, 

 Pinus Mughus, Picea pugens and Pinus Stro- 

 bus. For marshy localities: Juniperus Vir- 

 giniana {var. Barbadensis), Thuya occiden- 

 talis, Picea nigra, Taxodium distichum, Larix 

 Laricina and Chamaecyparis thuyoides. For 

 heavy soil: Tsuga Canadensis, Pinus Strobus, 

 Abies Nordmanniana are recommended. For 

 light soil: Juniperus Virginiana, Pinus Stro- 

 bus and Chamascyparis Pinus rigida may be 

 utilized. The Pinus resinosa and the Pinus 

 Strobus will prove excellent for woodland ef- 

 fects and woodland planting, as also will 

 Tsuga Canadensis, and in dry locations Juni- 

 perus Canadensis.
