BLOCK  OF  EVKRCRKENS  AT  GLENWOOD 
Coniferous  Evergreens 
EX^ERGREENS  are  our  great  specialty.    To  grow  and  sell  the  finest  in  the  United  States 
has  been  our  aim  for  over  a  quarter  of  a  century.    The  successful  transplanting  and  hand- 
some growth  of  "Moon's  Evergreens"  have  become  proverbial,  and  the  ever-increasing 
demand  is  both  reward  to  past  and  incentive  to  further  efforts. 
The  soil  of  Glenwood  Nurseries  is  especially  adapted  to  the  growth  of  Evergreens,  insuring 
fine,  fibrous  roots.  Frequent  root-pruning  in  midsummer  and  early  autumn  also  contributes 
largely  to  their  success  when  transplanted,  and  our  method  of  shipping  specimen  trees,  wilh  balls 
of  earth  and  burlap  co\  ering  about  the  roots,  practically  insures  fine  growth  when  planted  again. 
Evergreens  may  be  planted  in  spring,  or  with  equal  success  later,  in  August  and  September. 
They  cannot  be  valued  by  height  alone.  The  shearings  fre(]uently  given  them  are  to  reduce 
their  height,  and  make  them  grow  into  beautiful  symmetrical  specimens.  The  structural  form 
and  root-masses  should  determine  the  value  of  all  trees  and  shrubs. 
This  fact  makes  it  very  difficult  to  describe  Evergreens  fully,  and  accounts  for  difterence  in 
price  where  but  slight  difterence  in  height  occurs.  At  Glenwood  we  have  many  specimen  Ever- 
greens, whose  beauty  must  be  seen  to  be  fully  appreciated,  and  we  cannot  too  strongly  emphasize 
the  fact  that  buyers  .should,  when  at  all  possible,  visit  our  nurseries  to  inspect  the  splendid  stock 
we  offer.  The  central  location  of  the  Glenwood  Nurseries,  as  shown  by  the  map  on  page  3,  is 
thus  an  advantage  that  is  yearly  more  realized. 
Besides  their  recognized  value  for  specimen  trees,  massing,  shelter-belts,  screens,  hedges,  etc., 
the  tall  Evergreens  form  perfect  backgrounds  for  the  showy  flowering  shrubs  and  trees  of  early 
spring,  the  berries  of  autumn,  the  bright  bark  and  twigs  of  winter,  or  the  light  green,  golden  or 
silver-blue  growths  of  smaller  Evergreens. 
With  Exergreens  of  moderate  growth,  l)eautiful  eftects  are  )-)roduced  by  planting  close
