No landscape should be considered complete without some evergreens, if only a few lawn specimens, as 
there is a certain warmness, stateliness and diffnity that one unconsciously associates with them. 
Norway Soruce. 
Colorado. May 2, 1916. — I enclow check 
$142.35 paying my account in full. The stock 
received from you wa^i clean, wdl grraded, well 
packed. sati»factor>- in every particular. Sort 
o* fun to do businefts with that kind of folks, 
but Lord they are so sca'se. 
ARBORVIT^. American. One of the finest ever- 
greens for hedges. It ^rows rapidly and soon 
forms a most beautiful hed^e ; very dense. 
Of course it is never adapted to turn stock, 
but it forms a most desirable and ornamental 
screen to divide the lawn from other parts of 
the KTOund or any other purpose. 
Golden. A beautiful variety of Chinese Arbor- 
vitje ; compact and globular ; color a lively 
yellowish tcreen ; not quite hardy at the North ; 
should be planted in a shady situation, where 
it will give a brilliant touch of color like 
sunshine. 
Pyramidalis. An exceedingly beautiful, bright 
variety, resembling the Irish Juniper in form : 
foliage a deep green, color well retained in 
winter; perfectly hardy. Should have a place 
in every collection. 
Compacta. Foliage light green ; habit dwarf 
and compact. Fine for small places. 
Rosedale Hybrid. By far the finest of all ever- 
green of this class. A true hybrid between the 
Golden Arborvitxe fBiota aurea » and (Retinos- 
pora squarrosa) bearing a striking resemblance 
to both, as it possesses the fine, feathery foliage 
of Retinospora and the dense, compact, sugar- 
loaf shape of Biota aurea. It is a vigorous 
grower and perfectly . hardy ; somewhat 
dwarfish. 
Arborritse globosa. Forms a dense, low, globe 
shape. A beautiful evergreen. Particularly 
fine for formal plantings. 
Horn's Golden. A small tree, globular in form ; 
foliage light green with a golden tinge and 
very compact : hardy. 
Siberian. A superb variety, similar to Amer- 
ican, with heavier and fuller foliage and more 
compact in habit. It holds its color during 
the winter and bears trimming well. Is valu- 
able for low hedging and single specimens. 
BOX Tree. A fine, small evergreen, with pale 
green leaves. Can be trained in any desirable 
form by shearing. 
Dwarf. Used principally for borders and edging, 
for which purpose it is the best plant in culti- 
vation. 
CYPRESS. Lawson'g. A rare evergreen from Cali- 
fornia. One of the most graceful ; elegant 
drooping branches : half-hardy here. 
FIR, Balsam (American Silver). A very regular, 
symmetrical tree, assuming the conical form 
even when young ; leaves dark green above, 
•silvery beneath. 
Concolor (White Silver). An elegant, pictur- 
esque Colorado species ; long, leathery leaves, 
with glaucous tinge when young, becoming 
Kale green with age. Branches arranged in 
orizontal whorls. One of the brightest and 
best evergeens for the lawn. 
JUNIPER, Iriah (Juniperus Hibernica). Very 
erect and tapering in its growth, forming a 
column of deep green foliage. A pretty little 
tree or shrub, and for its beauty and hardi- 
ness is a general favorite. 
Swedish. Not quite so erect in growth as the 
Irish; foliage light yellowish green. It attains 
a height of 10 or 15 feet; perfectly hardy. 
PINE. Austrian, or Black (Pinus Austriaca). A 
remarkably robust, hardy, spreading tree, 
leaves long, stiff and dark green ; growth 
rapid ; valuable for this country. 
Scotch (Pinus sylvestris). A fine, robust, rapidly 
growing tree, with stout, erect shoots and 
silver green foliage. 
White (Pinus Strobus). The most ornamental 
of all native Pines ; foliage light, delicate or 
silvery green. 
SPRUCE. Douglas. From Colorado. Large, coni- 
cal form, branches spreading, horizontal ; 
leaves light green above, glaucous below. 
Colorado Blue (Picea pungens ^lauca). This 
species has been tested at various points on 
the prairies of the West and Northwest with 
perfect success, enduring a temperature of 30 
degrees below zero, in exposed situations, en- 
tirely uninjured. This is not only one of the 
hardiest, but the most beautiful in color and 
outline : foliage of a rich blue or sage color ; 
it is a valuable acquisition. 
Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis). An elegant pyra- 
midal tree, with drooping branches and delicate 
dark foliage, like that of the yew. Distinct 
from all other trees. It is a beautiful lawn 
tree, and makes a highly ornamental hedge. 
Norway. A lofty, elegant tree of perfect pyra- 
midal habit, remarkably elegant and rich, and 
as it gets age, has fine, graceful, pendulous 
branches; it is exceedingly picturesque and 
beautiful. Very popular, and deservedly so. 
One of the best evergreens for hedges and 
windbreaks. 
CULTURAL HINTS. When the bushes are received, plant them at once. Prepare the Rose-bed by 
digging out the soil to about 18 inches deep ; mix the top soil thoroughly with compost of rotten cow 
manure and rotten cottonseed ; fill the hole with this. If the bush has several brancnes. cut off all but 
two of the strongest ; cut these back to about 3 inches of their juncture with the stalk ; plant as deep as 
they grow in the nursery ; keep them well fertilized and clean of weeds, etc. Do not elevate the bed, 
but rather let it be lower than the surrounding surface; this will, to a certain extent, prevent their 
suffering from drought. Cut back every year fully one-half of the previous year's growth of wood and 
your flowers will be much finer and the bushes more viirorous. Do not permit Ihem to make seed. 
Our Roses are two years old. of vigorous growth and perfectly healthy, and comprise all of the best 
and most reliable sorts. They are outdoor grown and hardy.

flowers. The fragrance is delightful, resembling 
La France. 
BRIDESMAID. The most popular pink Tea Rose. 
Thousands of this variety are grown every year for

bright pink, very free-flowering and easily grown. 
BpN SILENE. Still a prime favorite on account 
of its_ delightful fragrance and strong -growing 
qualities ; color deep rose, shaded carmine. Valu- 
able for summer or winter flowers. 
CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. The best known and 
most popular Polyantha. It is ait free-blooming as 
a Rose can be. commencing to bloom when but 3 or 
4 inches high, and is never after without bloom if 
kept in a healthy growing condition. The full, 
double flowers are produced in sprays of three or 
more, and are of the finest imaginable form. The 
outer petals are pearl-white, .shading to a center 
of rosy pink, but vary sometimes from pure white 
to silvery rose on the same plant.

its silvery shading. A strong grower

have a combination of rich and peculiar coloring. 
<letightful perfume, and a remarkable profusion of 
bloom and foliage : color light rose, with heavy 
shading of amber and salmon. Quite hardy. 
DUCHESS OF ALBANY. We wish to impress 
the fact that as a Rose for all purposes it has no 
peer. It is identical with La France, excepting in 
three points. These are. a more vigorous growth, 
a larger and more expanded flower, and a deep, 
even pink in color, not shaded, but what is termed 
a solid color. 
DINSMORE. A true Perpetual, flowering very 
freely the whole season ; flowers large and very 
double ; color deep crimson. The plant is of a 
dwarf, bushy habit, every shoot producing a bud. 
ETOILE DE LYON. This magnificent Tea Rose 
is a rich golden yellow, a strong, healthy and 
vigorous grower, immense bloomer, bearing flowers 
and buds early and late. The flowers are very 
deep, rich and full, excellent substance, very sweet. 
Surely one of the very best and most beautiful 
yellow Tea Roses for general planting ever intro- 
duced. Remarkably hardy, both as to heat and 
cold, frequently standing the winters here unin- 
jured in open ground without protection, and 
blooming nicely all through the hottest part of 
the summer.
