Coniferous Evergreens share their beauty during the open months of the year with Deciduous Trees and Flowers. 

 In Winter they do not need to share their attractiveness with other trees or shrubs, for then their bright, persistent 

 foliage is a pleasing note in the otherwise leafless landscape. When laden with snow, as the Spruce Trees in our illus- 

 tration are, they still have an additional attractiveness possible with no other class of trees. 



CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 



E have made a specialty of evergreens for forty-two years. This is not an 

 accident, but a well-formulated plan, fostered first by the peculiar adapta- I 

 bility of our soil for the production of magnificent specimens of these j 

 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 i 

 appearance amid Winter's desolation. I 

 To the uninitiated the word evergreen suggests the American variety of cedar, ' 

 beautifully green, indigenous to this country- — a general favorite for its Christmas sug- 

 gestion. . I 

 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 this; these 

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

 foliage; golden, silver and white tipped varieties. Such colors 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 i 

 of Autumn, the bright bark and twigs of Winter, or the light green, golden or silver-blue i 

 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.
