CHOICE EVERGREENS 



The Coniferous Evergreens are indispensable in all ornamental 



plantings. They impart a finish to the landscape by their quaint 



or symmetrical growth, and whether planted as single specimens 



on the lawn or grouped together in masses, or for foundation 



planting, the light green, golden or silver-blue colors of their 



foliage are beautiful, winter and summer alike. We offer below 



a short but select list of the hardiest and easiest grown varieties: 



Juniperus Virginiana Glauca (Silver Red Cedar). Similar to 



Virginiana, but beautiful steel blue color. Plants offered are 



grafted from the original strain and are sure to please; attains 



best perfection when sheared frequently. Plants 2 to 3 feet high, 



$2.50 each. 



— Squamata Meyer i {Meyer's Juniper). A newer Evergreen of 

 conspicuous merit. Beautiful deep blue foliage combined with 

 rather irregular and slow growth makes this Evergreen particu- 

 larly suited to the rockery or low foreground planting. Plants 

 18 to 24 inches high, $2.50 each. 



Picea Excelsa (Norway Spruce). Rapid in growth, this tree is 

 excellent for wind breaks or hedges. It attained its first popu- 

 larity as the Christmas tree of Europe. Plants 18 to 24 inches 

 high, $1.00 each. 



-Pungens Glauca Kosteri (Kosfers Colorado Blue Spruce). 

 The attractive silvery-blue color stands out strongly against 

 all other Evergreens. Plants 18 to 24 inches high, $5.00 each; 

 24 to 30 inches high, $7.50 each. 



Pinus Montana Mughus (Dwarf Mugho Pine). Compact 

 dwarf pine, forming a round topped clump; useful for rock plant- 

 ing and foundation work. Its shape was produced by growing 

 for countless ages on the timberline where bleak exposure and 

 snows developed a low compact rugged plant. Plants 15 to 18 

 inches high, $1.50 each. 



— Nigra Austriaca (Austrian Pine). A vigorous growing pine 

 of dense habit, good for background or as individual specimen; 

 thrives at the seashore. Plants 2 to 3 feet high. $2.00 each. 



— Resinosa (Red Pine). The Red Pine succeeds well in poor 

 soil and is of rapid growth producing a nice shaped tree. Plants 

 2 to 3 feet high, $2.00 each. 



— Sylvestris (Scotch Pine). One of the most rapid growing 

 pines of bluer shade than Red Pine; handsome tree, especially 

 when young. Good for wind-breaks. Plants 3 to 4 feet high, 

 SI. 50 each. 



Pseudotsuga Douglasi (Douglas Fir). Hardy tree with dark 

 bluish-green coloring. Mr. Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum 

 felt that this tree was the aristocrat of the garden. It makes a 

 tall broad pyramid, preferring well drained soil. Plants 24 to 

 30 inches high, $1.50 each. 



Taxus Baccata Repandens (Spreading English Yew). A low 

 growing form with wide spreading branches. Leaves dark blue 

 green. Valuable for low planting. Plants 15 to 18 inches high, 

 $1.50 each. 



— Cuspidata (Spreading Japanese Yew). Unquestionably one 

 of the hardiest Evergreens in commerce with very dark green 

 foliage and spreading bushy habit; valuable for foundation 

 planting and especially adapted for wind swept locations because 

 of its hardiness. Plants 18 to 24 inches high, $1.50 each. 



— — Capitata (Upright Japanese Yew). Very hardy. Foliage 

 similar to Taxus Cuspidata but upright and pyramidal in shape, 

 making it useful for formal effect. 18 to 24 inches high, $2.50 

 each. 



— —Nana (Dwarf Japanese Yew). One of the best and hardiest 

 of dwarf Evergreens; foliage similar to preceding but of much 

 slower growth and more compact habit. Plants 12 to 15 inches 

 high, $1.50 each.

 with broad base; green in summer and bronze green in winter; 

 good accent plant and also well adapted to hedge use; stands 

 trimming well. Plants 2 to 3 feet high, $1.00 each.

 green; hardy and useful for formal and foundation work. Plants

 ful and attractive native Evergreens; can be clipped or permitted 

 to grow naturally as the finely cut foliage makes this tree most 

 adaptable. Plants 2 to 3 feet high, $2.00 each.
