Ascending the steps, we come into the seclusion of the 

 special show garden of choice evergreens. Here specially 

 chosen and matched pairs of Boxwood, Yews, and Junipers are 

 maintained in perfect condition awaiting inspection. 



Walking down this long, green aisle, we note fine specimens 

 of Retmosporas, the Filifera with threadlike, pendulous 

 branches, and the stately, densely leaved Squarrosas and 

 Plumosas. At the far end the steely blue glitter of a restrained 

 planting of Koster's Blue Spruce gives an excellent hint how 

 to handle that conspicuous and somewhat difficult subject. 

 There, too, sparkles the brilliant Cut-leaf Red Maple, which 

 is probably the most attractive of all the Japanese Maples. 



It would require a lengthy catalogue to list the various kinds 

 of evergreens on exhibition in this garden. Suffice it to say 

 that here is kept an almost complete 

 assortment, carefully chosen from 

 our fields to display to best advan- 

 tage the peculiar merits of each. 

 These plants are for sale, and it is 

 with some little difficulty that we 

 are able to keep the show-room full 

 at all times.
