EVERGREENS 



American Arborvitse. Much used for hedges, 

 screens, singly on lawns, and in tubs for porches, etc. 

 It is a handsome little tree, and if allowed to grow 

 naturally will be quite tall and pyramid shaped. Can 

 be trimmed and kept in any form and height. Espe- 

 cially handsome when young. In the summer the 

 foliage is bright green above, yellowish beneath, and 

 when winter comes this changes to the richest tones 

 of brown and bronze. 15 inches, 20 cts., each, $2 for 10, 

 S7 per 100; 15 to 18 inches, 25 cts. each, $2.50 for 10, 

 $9 per 100; 18 to 24 inches, 30 cts., each, $3 for 10, 

 I13 per 100; 2 to 3 ft., 40 cts. each, S4 for 10, S25 per 

 100; 3 to 4 ft, 60 cts. each, S6 for 10, S40 per 100. 



Globular Arborvitae. A striking evergreen. It is a 

 bright green color and globe-shaped form, made by the 

 dense, compact growth of branches and foliage, and 

 odd and different yet graceful and formal. 2 to 3 ft., 

 75 cts. each; 3 to 4 ft.. Si each. 



Fern-like Arborvitae. This variety never gets very 

 large. Its fern-like foliage, and rather dainty branches 

 and form, are quite a relief from the ponderous effect of 

 so many trees. It spreads its lower skirts in a very lady- 

 like manner and carries a pointed crest. 2 to 3 ft., 

 75 cts. each, 3 to 4 ft, Si each. 



George Peabody's Golden Arborvitae. A very 

 handsome tree, growing in broad, pyramidal form. 

 Its most striking feature is that each season's growth 

 is a golden yellow color all that year. For rich immediate 

 effect nothing will beat it either singly or as a hedge, 

 12 inches, 50 cts. each, S4 for 10, S30 per 100. 



Japanese Arborvitae. Just as well adapted to our 

 conditions as it is to those of Japan. It is a small 

 conical growing tree, with right-angle branches and 

 lustrous green foliage. Prices the same as for Golden. 



Pyramidal Arborvitae. The name is descriptive. 

 It is narrow-based, pointed, very upright, dense and 

 compact. The slimmest of arborvitaes, and, as such, 

 is very useful and attractive. Planted under the branch 

 tips of a wide spreading tree, it has the effect of a 

 column supporting the bulk above. Great for quick 

 screens. 3 to 4 ft. 50 cts. each, S4 for 10, I30 per 100, 

 I250 per 1,000; 2 to 3 ft. 40 cts. each, $3 for 10, S20 

 per 100, S175 per 1,000. 



Siberian Arborvitae. A dense, sharp-pointed, 

 broad-based little tree, with greenish brown foliage 

 toward the top and bluish foliage on lower branches, 

 which are short and stiff. 3 ft., 75 cts. each, S6 for 10. 



Western Arborvitae. A rapid grower, regular and 

 handsome in form, and just as much so in color, which 

 is glossy green above with silvery spots beneath. It 

 grows tall and narrow, with short branches hanging 

 down. Imposing and grand. 3 ft., 75 cts.; 2 ft., 50 cts. 



Blue Virginia Cedar. Blue Cedar has the spic> 

 fragrance, beauty, hardiness, and adaptability of Red 

 Cedar, and, in addition, is a vigorous grower, with 

 handsome foliage, both in color, which is silvery blue, 

 and in compactness, as the trees are many branched and 

 thick-set. 3 to 4 ft., 50 cts. each, S4 for 10, S30 per 100, 

 $250 per 1,000; 2 to 3 ft., 40 cts. each, S3 for 10 S20 per 

 100, S175 per 1,000. 



Indian Cedar, or Deodara Cedar. A bluish green, 

 superb tree from Central Asia. It is of majestic pyramid 

 shape, and the evergreen leaves grow in bunches, with 

 cones 5 and 6 inches long here and there in the branches. 

 Splendid anywhere planted. 12 to 18 inches, 25 cts. 

 each, S2 for 10, S15 per ipo; 18 to 24 inches, 35 cts. 

 each, $3 for 10, S20 per 100. 



Golden Plume-like Cypress. Decidedly good as 

 a variegated evergreen. The young growth has the 

 old-gold color which contrasts so richly with the very 

 dark green of older foliage. 3 to 4 ft.. Si each. 



Japanese Cypress. In making up picturesque 

 landscapes in limited space this tree should be the cen- 

 ter of interest. Is trimmed into all shapes. Fine in tubs. 

 Naturally, it is a perfect shaped, strong, miniature tree, 

 with straight out, fern-like branches and bright foliage. 

 2 to 3 ft., 75 cts. each; 5 to 6 ft. Si. 50 each. 



Cypress (Glory of Boskoop). Tall and slender trees 

 with feathery, fern-like blue-green foliage. Finest 

 cypress grown. The gracefully curving branches droop 

 just a little. It is quite hardy south of 45 degrees. 

 18 to 24 inches, 50 cts., each, S4 for 10; 2 to 3 ft. 75 

 cts. each, S6 for 10; 3 to 4 ft., Si each, S7.50 for 10. 



Cephalonian Fir. A sharp-tapering tree from the 

 hills of Greece. The growth is stiff and rigid in every 

 limb and twig, and the tree is wide-spreading and 

 stately. From above it is dark green; from below, pale 

 green. Six inch grayish brown cones with backward 

 turned sections. 12 to 18 in., 50 cts. each, S4 for 10. 



Spanish Fir. Not hardy north of Pennsylvania 

 or the Lakes, As handsome a cone-bearing evergreen 

 as can be had. Branches and leaves stand out on all 

 sides, are bright green above, whitish beneath, four-inch 

 brown cones. 12 to 18 in., 50 cts. each, S4 for 10. 



These two pictures contain a lesson in home building, and on the influence of attractive home-planting on those who live 

 there — humble or great. Page 30 shows a house in which a colored laborer lives — page 31, a home of another colored laborer.
