TREES 
j^xtreme hardiness is one of the first re- 
quisites of park and boulevard trees for 
planting in the northwest, beauty and sym- 
metry of developement, rapidity of growth 
are all the features that must be considered.

Trees are the essentials in the transformation of a landscape, both for artistic and practical reasons and 
in regions where the destruction of forest trees has worked havoc with climate and soil the only hope of the 
Agriculturist is in reforestation. We grow these trees from seed and on account of the extreme northerly 
situation of our nurseries they are peculiarly adapted to planting in rigorous climates. 
Evergreens 
The most generally effective trees that can be 
planted, are the 
EVERGREENS and CONIFERS 
for they are only a shade more beautiful when massed 
against the sparkling winter snows, than are they, 
when their darker green blends into the brighter colors 
of the summer landscape. On the hottest summer days 
their shade is cool and spicy, and they are an ex- 
cellent protection against the chill, north winds of the 
winter, when planted as windbreaks. They may be 
used to sc'een off an unsightly barn yard, or planted 
on the lawn to soften a curve in the drive; while 
planted singly as a specimen 
the COLOLADO SPRUCE 
,ds no rivals. There is a dignity and stability about 
ar Evergreen that no other tree has, and we cannot 
ecommend it too highly for ornamental and farm 
lanting.
