NORDMAXX's  SILVER  FIR    (See  opposite  pagej 
together  in  beds,  varieties 
th  at  contrast  finely.  For  such 
hardy  beds  of  permanent 
color,  the  Retinosporas, 
Arborvitaes,  Blue  Spruce, 
etc.,  are  particularly  useful. 
Hotels  and  private  houses 
also  use  them  for  filling  win- 
dow boxes  and  jardinieres 
for  interior  decoration.  The 
different  forms  of  Arbor\  itae, 
Retinospora,  Spruce,  Pine 
and  Juniper  are  preferred 
for  this  purpose.  The  con- 
trasting colors  of  green, 
silvery  blue  and  golden  foli- 
age give  a  gay  and  beautiful 
appearance  to  these  combi- 
nations, whether  in  window- 
boxes  or  in  more  extensive 
outdoor  plantings  of  beds  or 
borders.  There  is  an  in- 
creasing appreciation  of  and 
demand  for  these  evergreen 
decorations. 
If  those  who  intend  plant- 
ing Evergreens  will  confer 
with  us,  we  can  offer  valuable 
suggestions  and  may  be  able 
to  name  special  inducements 
on  certain  varieties  in  quan- 
tity. Our  trees,  having  been 
recently  transplanted,  are 
remarkably  well  supplied 
with  fibrous  roots,  which  our 
careful  digging  and  packing 
preserve  in  full  vigor  through 
the  longest  shipments. 
Abies  •  The  Firs 
INCLUDING   PICEA.  THE  SPRUCES 
Evergreens  of  much  elegance  and  dignity,  with  considerable  variety  in  their  tones  of  green 
and  blue.  The  Spruces  have  needle-shaped  leaves  scattered  all  around  their  shoots.  The  Firs 
have  flatter  leaves,  mostly  two-ranked.    All  are  vigorous  and  hardy,  especially  our  native  species.
