Coniferous  Evergreens 
HE  successful  transplanting  and  handsome  growth  of  "  Moon's  Evergreens "  have  become 
proverbial.  The  soil  at  the  Glenwood  Nurseries  is  especially  adapted  to  them.  Under 
our  system  of  cultivation  these  trees  are  frequently  transplanted  or  root-pruned  to  make 
them  develop  splendid  root  systems  that  will  nourish  and  sustain  the  trees  when  moved. 
Each  tree  is  given  ample  space  in  which  to  develop  symmetrically,  and,  when  necessary, 
they  are  sheared  to  make  them  more  dense  and  shapely.  These  shearings  reduce  the 
height  of  the  tree,  but  so  much  improve  it  that  this  fact  accounts  for  dilference  in 
price  where  but  slight  difference  in  height  exists. 
Evergreens  may  be  planted  in  the  spring,  or  with  equal  success  later,  in  August 
and  September.  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  plant- 
ing close  together,  in  beds,  varieties  that  contrast  finely.  For  such  beds  of  perma- 
nent color,  the  Retinosporas,  Arborvitaes,  Blue  Spruce,  etc.,  are  useful.  Hotels  and 
private  homes  also  use  them  for  interior  decorations.  The  different  forms  of  Arbor- 
vitaes, 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
