Coniferous Evergreens 



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

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

 bility 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. 



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 speci- 

 mens 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 lawm 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 pur- 

 chasers 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.
