EVERGREENS 
Very valuable for mixed planting and with the larger shade trees 
gives the unique "Forest air" to the landscape garden. Their low 
shrub-like growth and dainty shades makes them very pleasing to the 
eye.

healthy green foliage, sets it apart as an essential ornamental ever- 
green. 
Each 25c; doz., $2.50 
JUNIPERS. 
Are easily distinguished from the Spruces by form and habit. Are 
invaluable for ornamental planting because of their variety of shapes 
and sizes. We have this in the well known variety: 
J. Virginians (or Red Cedar) — Of a very conical form and quite regu- 
lar, foliage is a deep rich green. In the Fall the branches are 
hung with small blue berries.

Spruce. 
SPRUCE. 
The Spruce is by far the most popularly planted, being thought by 
many the best of the evergreens. Its dense foliage and conical shape 
make it very valuable for both ornamentation and windbreaks.

Each $1.00 to $5.00 
Douglas Spruce — Foliage resembles that of Hemlock; of graceful habit 
Each 50c to $2.00 
Norway Spruce— Very dark green, well formed and dense foliage.

Planting 
Trees 
On receiving trees unpack 
without delay, cover the roots 
with earth and water freely. 
The roots should never be ex- 
posed to the air after wrapping 
IS removed. 
All bruised ends of roots should 
be carefully trimmed. 
When planting do not expose 
root by taking more than one tree 
at a time. 
All trees should be planted 
about two inches deeper than 
Uiey were at the nursery. (The 
mark at the base determines this 
depth). 
Soil should be firmly packed 
around the roots. This is an es- 
sential point. 
Complete by well watering.
