hardy Arborvltae which forms an ele- 
gant and very slender shaft of dark 
green. Superior to, and much hardier 
than Irish Juniper. Much planted in 
cemeteries and is one of the most satis- 
factory of the ornamental Evergreens, 
with fine, bright green foliage, silvery

ture. 
Firs 
Balsam Fir (Abies Balsamea) — A well- 
known, popular tree; very handsome 
while young, assuming an upright, con- 
ical form. Leaves dark green above, 
silvery beneath; retains its color 
throughout the winter; grows rapidly 
and is desirable in every way, but 
should be planted where there is plenty 
of moisture. 
Concolor Fir or White or Silver Fir (Ab- 
ies concolor) — This Evergreen is of the 
rarest beauty; its beautiful silvery green 
foliage is the same the year round. It 
is a good grower and makes a large tree. 
It does best where somewhat protected 
from severe Southwest or West winds 
and sun. 
Junipers 
Virginia Juniper (Red Cedar) — A well- 
known American tree which varies much 
in habit and color of foliage. It suc- 
ceeds well on the Western plains and 
dry, sandy soils where other Evergreens 
fail. Very desirable for ornamental 
purposes, windbreaks and hedges. 
Prostrate Juniper (Juniperus Sabina) — A 
creeping cedar which is useful in land- 
scape work where a bush rather than a 
tall tree is wanted.
