A planting of evergreens along the drive with a ribbon of English Ivy to make a finishing touch. Such a planting 

 will make your every homecoming pleasant. In the Summer you will be interested in the bright young tips that 

 indicate the new season's growth. The charm of the shades of green against the Winter landscapes will give a cheerful 

 welcome in the cold, snowy days. 



Coniferous Evergreens 



Cone-bearing Evergreens 



THE beauty of the varieties embraced in this group, the wide range of usefulness 

 which they have, together with the peculiar adaptability of our soil for the 

 production of fine, vigorous specimens of conifers, led us forty-six years ago to 

 make these our specialty. That we still believe in the value and utility of these plants 

 is testified to by the one hundred acres in our nursery devoted to them alone. 



Our Evergreens offer a wide and brilliant diversity of color, every shade of green 

 and blue foliage; then there are the rich golden tints, the soft silvery grays and those 

 varieties with the dainty white-tipped leaves. 



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

 used for massing, shelter belts, screens and hedges. The taller varieties form perfect 

 backgi'ounds 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. 



"Var." indicates a variety of the last-mentioned species. 



Varieties marked (L) usually attain at maturity a height of 60 feet or over. (M) sig- 

 nifies from 30 to 60 feet. {S) from 10 to 30 feet. {D) to 10 feet. {VD) below U 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 pjTamidal growth and symmetrical outline, and mature rapidly. Some of the most orna- 

 mental large-growing evergreens are contained in this group. The beauty of most varieties is best 

 displayed when the trees are used as individual specimens.
