EVERGREENS 



This Evergreen 

 makes fine 

 hedges for 

 windbreaks. 



By planting our small Evergreens you can secure a 

 richly furnished effect on your lawn and around your 

 home at small expense, and enjoy a permanent 

 snugness and beauty obtainable from no other class 

 of plants. Plant them at the corners of your house 

 and the angles of the porch, to break the sharp lines 

 of the building and tie it to the ground. Ever- 

 greens are an investment in happiness, for they in- 

 crease in beauty year by year and are always 

 there to enjoy, winter and summer, whenever you 

 step outdoors. All below by Express Collect.
