A planting in which Moon's Evergreens have been extensively used. — Jas. L. Greenleaf, Landscape Architect. 



CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 



E HAVE made a specialty of evergreens for forty-one years. This is 

 not accident, but a well formulated plan, fostered first by the peculiar 

 adaptability of our soil for the production of magnificent specimens of 

 these varieties, and second by the natural desire on the part of the 

 buyer to decorate with foliage that will present a pleasing, bright and 

 optimistic appearance amid Winter's desolation. 



To the uninitiated the word evergreen suggests the American variety 

 of cedar, beautifully green, indigenous to this country — a general favorite for its 

 Christmas suggestion. 



But there are dozens of varieties of the so-called evergreens with botanical names 

 more or less difficult to pronounce. The chief point that we wish to make is that 

 these specimens offer so varied and brilliant a diversity of color — every shade of green 

 and blue foliage, golden, silver and white tipped — as will give you Summer tints and 

 Summer thoughts amid Winter snows. 



Evergreens are much desired for specimen lawn trees; they are also extensively 

 used for massing, shelter-belts, screens, hedges, etc., while the taller varieties 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 growth of smaller evergreens. 



Besides the smaller grades we have hundreds of large, handsome specimens, 12 to 

 20 feet high, which we have been years in raising. These will give at once the results 

 purchasers would otherwise be a long while in obtaining. 



**Var.'' indicates variety of the last-mentioned species. 



Varieties marked (L) usually attain at maturity a height of 60 feet 

 or over. (M) signifies from 30 to 60 feet. (S) from 10 to 30 feet. (D) 4 to 

 10 feet. (VD) below 4 feet.
