CHOICE 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: 

 Juniperus Virginiana Glauca (Silver Red Cedar). Similar to 

 Virginiana, but beautiful steel blue color. Plants offered are 

 grafted from the original strain and are sure to please; attains 

 best perfection when sheared frequently. Plants 2 to 3 feet high, 

 $2.50 each. 



— Squamata Meyeri (Meyer's Juniper). A newer Evergreen of 

 conspicuous merit. Beautiful deep blue foliage combined with 

 rather irregular and slow growth makes this Evergreen particu- 

 larly suited to the rockery or low foreground planting. Plants 

 18 to 24 inches high, $2.50 each. 



Picea Excelsa (Norway Spruce). Rapid in growth, this tree is 

 excellent for wind breaks or hedges. It attained its first popu- 

 larity as the Christmas tree of Europe. Plants 18 to 24 inches 

 high, $1.00 each. 

 -Pungens Glauca Kosteri (Rosters Colorado Blue Spruce). 

 The attractive silvery-blue color stands out strongly against 

 all other Evergreens. Plants 18 to 24 inches high, $5.00 each; 

 24 to 30 inches high, $7.50 each. 

 Pinus Montana Mughus (Dwarf Mugho Pine). Compact 

 dwarf pine, forming a round topped clump; useful for rock plant- 

 ing and foundation work. Its shape was produced by growing 

 for countless ages on the timberline where bleak exposure and 

 snows developed a low compact rugged plant. Plants 15 to 18 

 inches high, $1.50 each. 



— Nigra Austriaca (Austrian Pine). A vigorous growing pine 

 of dense habit, good for background or as individual specimen; 

 thrives at the seashore. Plants 2 to 3 feet high, $2.00 each. 



— Resinosa (Red Pine). The Red Pine succeeds well in poor 

 soil and is of rapid growth producing a nice shaped tree. Plants 

 2 to 3 feet high, $2.00 each. 



— Sylvestris (Scotch Pine). One of the most rapid growing 

 pines of bluer shade than Red Pine; handsome tree, especially 

 when young. Good for wind-breaks. Plants 3 to 4 feet high, 

 $1.50 each.

 30 inches high, $1.50 each. 



Taxus Baccata Repandens (Spreading English Yew). A low 

 growing form with wide spreading branches. Leaves dark blue 

 green. Valuable for low planting. Plants 15 to 18 inches high,

— Cuspidata (Spreading Japanese Yew). Unquestionably one 

 of the hardiest Evergreens in commerce with very dark green 

 foliage and spreading bushy habit; valuable for foundation 

 planting and especially adapted for wind swept locations because 

 of its hardiness. Plants 18 to 24 inches high, $1.50 each.

 similar to Taxus Cuspidata but upright and pyramidal in shape, 

 making it useful for formal effect. 18 to 24 inches high, $2.50

 adaptable. Plants 2 to 3 feet high, $2.00 each.
