EVERGREEN TREES 



Every lawn's appearance can be greatly enhanced by Evergreens. Their 

 beautiful colors, remaining solid throughout the year, are much appreciated 

 in winter when the deciduous trees have succumbed to the frosts and have 

 lost their beauty until spring comes again. 



Even though the home grounds seem well planted with shrubs, maples, elms, 

 birches, and other trees of grace and beauty, there is always a place for the 

 Evergreens — the dwarf Juniper, the Yews, and other low-growing kinds, as well 

 as the massive sorts, like the Pines and Spruces. 



There are several ways to make effective plantings of Evergreens. A very 

 good scheme is to mass them in groups of from three to eight, if they are of 

 the small-growing varieties, and of two to six, if they are liable to reach any 

 considerable height. The planting shown above is in the mass style. Another 

 plan much in vogue on small lawns or where there is room for but a few trees, 

 is to plant them singly as individual specimens. Plantings made after this 

 style give the grounds an appearance of being larger and, if your grounds are 

 small, we feel that the latter plan will prove the most satisfactory. 



Evergreen trees are widely used as screens and windbreaks, and a double 

 row of them planted on the windward side of your home will break the force 

 of the winter winds and make the house warmer. Evergreens are much used 

 in hedges, the Arborvitaes and Hemlocks being especially good for this purpose 

 Don't fail to include a few Evergreens when you send your order.
