EVERGREEN TREES. 
In ornamental planting, Kveigrccn trees e.xcel all oiliers for beau- 
tifying new grounds, because Ibe effect is immerliate and continues 
Ihrougliout the ycir. For hedges and screens, and protection from 
harsh winds, there aie none to question llieir value. Judiciously 
planted, singly and sparingly, and using those of the li.glilcr shades in 
the foreground with groups and m.isses of dark-foliaged varieties in 
the background, a cheerful, life-like home in winter can be produced 
from what may have been a bleak- and dreary waste. 
Evergreens, if properly grown for the puiposc, may be transplanted 
in the spring and in Au.gust without difficulty; and at other .seasons 
by skillful gardeners. They will grow in a great variety of soils, and 
require less care and culture than deciduous trees.
