EVERGREEN TREES 
Upright-growing Evergreens as a foundation planting 
A good all-the-year foundation planting 
PSEUDOTSUGA 
Pseudotsuga Douglasii (Douglas Spruce). This beautiful evergreen 
resembles a spruce, but is botanically different. Of graceful, symmetrical 
growth, it is valued highly as a specimen as well as in collections. The 
needles are soft and dark green, often showing a glaucous shade. 2 to 
3 ft., $2] 3 to 4 ft., $3; 4 to 5 ft., $4.50. 
RETINOSPORA The Japan Cypress 
The trees of this class of evergreens are characterized by their beau- 
tiful, feathery appearance and pyramidal growth, although they include 
a few species of dwarf habit. The different varieties assume quite 
distinct colors and habit, being constant and attractive at all seasons. 
Retinospora obtusa (Obtuse-leaved Retinospora). One of the most 
valuable of its genus and of noble and graceful appearance. The fern- 
like, soft green foliage, arranged in flat filaments, retains its beauty and 
color at all seasons. Healthy, vigorous and upright grower, its many 
merits cannot be overestimated. Extremely hardy. 2 to 3 ft., $2; 3 to 
4 ft., $3-50- 
R. obtusa nana. An extremely dwarf form and of true Japanese 
appearance. The dark, shining green leaves are arranged in flattened 
layers, arising above each other, giving it a distinct individuality all of 
its own. It dwarfs itself without any human help and, although reaching 
a very great age, it will barely reach a height of 3 feet. 1 to iK ft., S2; 
to 2 ft., $2.50. 
R. obtusa nana aurea. Quite similar in habit and appearance to 
the above, with beautiful golden foliage of lasting quality. 1 to i l A ft., 
$2.50; 1^ to 2 ft., $3. 
R. pisifera (Pea-fruited Retinospora). The airy and slender branches 
of this pretty Retinospora are open and gracefully arranged; the foliage 
is of light green above with a silvery sheen beneath. 2 to 3 ft., $2; 
3 to 4 ft., $3. 
R. pisifera aurea (Golden Pea-fruited Retinospora). In general ap- 
pearance very like the species, but made especially valuable by its bright 
golden tint, the foliage holding this color even in winter. For contrast 
effect in group plantings it is very handsome. 2 to 3 ft., S2.25; 3 to 4 ft., 
S3. 50. 
R. plumosa (Green Plume-like Retinospora). One of the best known 
Retinosporas and extensively used. Of distinct, symmetrical, conical 
shape, which can be improved through shearing, rendering it very 
compact and dense. The foliage is plume-like and light green. 2 to 3 ft., 
5 i- 75; 3 to 4 ft., S3; 4 to 5 ft., S4-50. 
R. plumosa aurea (Golden Plume-like Retinospora). This is un- 
doubtedly the most popular golden evergreen and is used everywhere, 
especially for contrast effects, in ornamental and landscape plantings. 
In habit and growth resembling the species, but its coloring is of a most 
pleasing gold. This attractive coloring is particularly bright in spring, 
and it retains its golden hue remarkably well through all the seasons. 
Absolutely hardy and winterproof. 2 to 3 ft., $1.75; 3 to 4 ft., S3; 4 to 
5 ft., S4.50. Excellent for winter window- and porch-boxes, in sizes 
1 to 2 ft., at 50 cts. and 75 cts. each, $4 for 10. 
R. squarrosa (Silver Retinospora). An evergreen of great merit and 
beauty and of compact, dense growth. Very hardy and ornamental in 
many places. It is usually trimmed into a fine, shapely pyramid with 
silvery, bluish green foliage of a feathery character. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 
4 ft., S3- 5o; 4 to 5 ft.. $5. 
SCIADOPITYS 
Sciadopitys verticillata (Umbrella Pine). The most interesting and 
remarkable evergreen brought to us from Japan. It is of very slow 
growth, but finally attains the height of a tree; of regular, pyramidal 
shape. Each branch and side growth is terminated by a whorl of uinbrella- 
like tufts of needles of a shining, rich green. Quite hardy after once 
established. 2 to 3 ft., S5; 3 to 4 ft., $7.50. 
TAXUS The Yews 
The Yews are slow-growing but highly ornamental evergreens, pre- 
ferring a sheltered position. Some varieties are most useful for hedge 
and screen purposes, as they respond willingly to shearing. Others 
again are most effectively used as specimens in strictly symmetrical 
gardens. They thrive best in a rich, moist, garden soil. 
Taxus baccata (English Yew). A very dense-growing tree, with fine, 
dark green, healthy foliage that stands shearing well. 1% to 2 ft., $2. 50; 
2 to 3 ft., S3-50. 
T. baccata aurea (Golden English Yew). A golden form of the 
species. 1 to 1^ ft., S2. 
T. baccata fastigiata (Irish Yew). Well adapted to strictly formal 
planting; of a distinct, upright, conical shape. to 2 ft., S2.50; 2 to 
3 ft., S3-50. 
T. cuspidata (Japanese Yew). A dense-growing, upright, evergreen 
of great hardiness. 1 ]/* to 2 ft., S3. 
THUYA • The Arborvitaes 
This class of evergreens cannot be too highly recommended. Thriving 
in most any soil, they respond freely to liberal treatment. Arborvitaes 
adapt themselves wonderfully to most various treatments and uses, and 
most of them are quite hardy; they are, no doubt, the easiest evergreens 
to transplant. 
Thuya occidentalis (American Arborvitae). Our native Arborvitae, 
probably the most useful of its class. It grows well everywhere and over 
a wide range of climate, forming a fine, erect pyramid, with soft and 
fresh green foliage. An excellent hedge and windbreak plant, and often 
used in tubs and vases. Easy to transplant and not expensive. 2 to 
3 ft., 75 cts.; 3 to 4 ft., Si. 25; 4 to 5 ft., $2. 
T. occidentalis aurea (George Peabody’s Arborvitae). In habit and 
growth similar to the species, but has a distinct golden yellow hue; 
highly appreciated for contrast in foliage effects. 2 to 3 ft., S2; 3 to 4 ft., 
S3 -50- 
T. occidentalis compacta (Compact Arborvitae). A dwarf, dense- 
growing evergreen, with neat, bright green foliage. Used quite frequently 
for formal effects. i'A to 2 ft., Si. 50; 2 to 3 ft.. S2.75. 
T. occidentalis pyramidalis (Pyramidal Arborvitae). Similar to the 
original form, but forming a strict pyramid of denser growth and finer 
texture. 2 to 3 ft., Si. 50; 3 to 4 ft., Si. 75; 4 to 5 ft., S2.25. 
T. occidentalis globosa (Globe Arborvitae). A very dwarf and com- 
pact-growing Arborvitae, forming a perfect globe without the help of 
pruning shears. Hardy, useful and ornamental. 9 in. to 1 ft., Si; 1 to 
iK ft.. Si. 50; 1% to 2 ft., $2. 
TSUGA • The Hemlocks 
A group of evergreens not surpassed by any other. Their beauty and 
gracefulness in outline, hardiness, rapidity of growth and easy trans- 
planting qualities make them our most popular and most highly valued 
evergreens. One of our great specialties. 
Tsuga Canadensis (Hemlock Spruce). One of our magnificent 
native evergreens. It grows rapidly in almost any soil and situation. As 
a single specimen it will develop its full beauty as a tree; with its slender, 
elegant branches sweeping down to the lawn; as a hedge plant, screen 
or windbreak, it is of equal merit. 1 to 1 ' 2 ft., 75 cts.; iK to 2 ft.. Si. 
2 to 3 ft., Si. 50; 3 to 4 ft., $2. 50; 4 to 5 ft., $4; 5 to 6 ft., 55 to Sio, specimen 
T. Caroliniana (Southern Hemlock). Of quite distinct shape and 
beauty; foliage dense and dark green. 1 to 2 ft., $2; 2 to 3 ft., $3.
