The Retinisporas 



This class of evergreen trees is frequently, and properly, used at the founda- 

 tions of residences and other buildings. Many times they are planted at the 

 base of a terrace or at the foot of a slope of ground. A group of Retinisporas at 

 the border of a lawn, or at the edge of taller evergreens like the pines, spruces, 

 or cedars, makes an effect not obtained by any other combination of trees. 

 In spring and summer the foliage of all the varieties is rather light in color, but 

 after cold weather comes it turns to a deep rich shade that is in marked con- 

 trast to that of other evergreens. The color contrast is particularly marked 

 when the Retinisporas are arranged among large groups of evergreens or with 

 rhododendrons and laurels. In all cases the Retinisporas are of great value. 

 We send our specimens carefully packed, balled, and burlaped, so that they are 

 sure to reach you safely and in a condition to begin growing at once.

Around our homes we want the trees we like best. Sometimes these are 

 not the most suitable — so we have to take a second choice and plant trees 

 that will thrive. Then, we ought to consider the size of the house; if it 

 is tall, use Maples, Elms, Oaks. If it is a small cottage, try some of the 

 smaller trees, like the Box Elder, the Silver Maple, or the Dogwood.
