Evergreens 



Truly the aristocrats of treedom, lending year around beauty 

 to your home surroundings. We have an unusual assortment this 

 season of evergreens in green, golden and silver, which make the 

 most attractive combination for planting as a foundation planting 

 in groups or as specimen trees. 



Evergreens Reasonably Priced 



You pay no more for Harrisons' super-grade Evergreens, all of 

 which are selected individually as to shape and foliage, than you 

 do for second grade stock, that is dug up in the nursery row, re- 

 gardless of the development. 



All our Evergreens are balled and burlapped in the fertile 

 soil in which they are grown, thereby assuring healthy and 

 vigorous growth for all time. 



Freight is the most satisfactory way to ship Evergreens.

American Arbor-Vitae (Thuja occidentalis). Probably no ever- 

 green is more admired than the American Arbor-Vitae, with its 

 beautifully carved foliage of deep green, its graceful, refined 

 habits and its artistic shape. These features make it indispen- 

 sable in the home foundation groups and in the lawn and garden 

 plantings. This evergreen is easy to transplant and grows 

 under adverse weather conditions. 1 to 1 H ft., 55c each; 

 IH to 2 ft., 85c each; 2 to 3 ft., $1.25 each; 3 to 4 ft., $2.00

Berckman's Golden Arbor-Vitae (Biota aurea nana). This 

 Evergreen is the best golden form grown. The clear, golden yel- 

 low color is ver^' rich and striking and makes a delightful contrast 

 when planted with other evergreens. It is a dwarf growing 

 form and is very ornamental when planted in a foundation 

 group. 9 to 12 in., 75c each; 12 to 15 in., $1.00 each; 15 to

George Peabody Arbor-Vitae (Thuja occidentalis lutea). A I 

 beautiful variety, the gold marking diffusing more deeply into 

 the foliage than in any other tall growing evergreens. Fine as 

 a specimen or to produce color contrast with other evergreens. 

 1 to IH ft., $1.25 each. 



Pyramidal Arbor-Vitae (Thuja occidentalis pyramidalis). A 

 really beautiful evergreen that should be included in every plant- 

 ing. It grows tall and narrow, requires no trimming and retains 

 its bright green color throughout the whole year. A pair of 

 them placed at the entrance or at the corner of a home makes a 

 superb showing. Our Pyramidal Arbor- Vitaes are grown with
