we  have  many  specimen  Evergreens  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  Nur- 
series, 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  Evergreens  of  moderate  growth,  beautiful  effects  are  produced  by  planting  close 
together  in  beds,  varieties  that  contrast  finely.  For  such  hardy  beds  of  permanent  color,  the 
Retinosporas,  Arborvitses,  Blue  Spruce,  etc.,  are  particularly  useful.  Hotels  and  private  homes 
also  use  them  for  filling  window  boxes  and  jardinieres  for  interior  decorations.  The  different 
forms  of  Arborvitse,  Retinospora,  Spruce,  Pine  and  Juniper  are  preferred  for  this  purpose.  The 
contrasting  colors  of  green,  silvery  blue  and  golden  foliage  give  a  gay  and  beautiful  appear- 
ance to  these  combinations,  whether  in  window  boxes  or  in  more  extensive  outdoor  plantings 
of  beds  or  borders.  There  is  an  increasing  appreciation  of  and  demand  for  these  evergreen 
decorations. 
If  those  who  intend  planting  Evergreens  will  confer  with  us,  we  can  offer  valuable  sugges- 
tions and  may  be  able  to  name  special  inducements  on  certain  varieties  in  quantity.
