MOON'S EVERGREENS 



Coniferous Evergreens 



(Cone-bearing Evergreens) 



E have made a specialty of evergreens for forty-four 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 which will give you Summer tints and Summer 

 thoughts amid Winter snows. 

 Our Evergreens ofTer a wide and brilliant diversity of color — every shade 

 of green and blue foliage; golden, silver and white tipped varieties. 



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

 tor massing, shelter-belts, screens, hedges, etc., while the taller varieties form perfect 

 Ijackgrounds 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 

 2:rowth of smaller evergreens. 



Besides the smaller grades we have hundreds of large, handsome specimens, 8 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. 



Abies. The Firs 



THE Firs are mostly quick-growing, hardy evergreens that are useful in producing natural and wooded 

 effects, as well as in the more attractive decoration of parks and lawns. They generally are of 

 pyramidal growth and symmetrical outline, and mature rapidly. Some of the most ornamental 

 large-growing ev^ergreens are contained in this group. The beauty of most varieties is best displayed when 

 the trees are used as individual specimens

 most satisfactory evergreens for planting in New 

 England and other sections where the severe Winters
