j, CHOICE HARDY SHRUBS, 



CHOICE CONIFEROUS 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:

 green, forming irregular vase-shape plants; frequently used in
