EVERGREEN TREES 
A foundation planting that fits the house — one year from planting 
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 (Engli.sh Yew). A very dense-growing tree, with fine, 
dark green, healthy foliage that stands .shearing well. iK to 2 ft., I2.50; 
2 to 3 ft., $3.50. 
T. baccata aurea (Golden English Yew). A golden form of the 
species. I to ft., $2. 
T. baccata fastigiata (Irish Yew). Well adapted to strictly formal 
planting; of a distinct, upright conical shape. ij 4 to 2 ft., S2.50; 2 to 
3 ft., 13.50. 
T. cuspidata (Japanese Yew). A dense-growing, upright evergreen 
of great hardiness, to 2 ft., $3. 
THUYA • The Arborvitaes 
This class of evergreens cannot be too highly recommended. Thriving 
in most any soil, they respond freely to liberal treatment. Arborvitas 
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. to 
2 ft., 75 cts.; 2 to 3 ft., $1; 3 to 4 ft.. $1.50 to $2; 4 to 5 ft., $2.25 to $3. 
T. occidentalis aurea (George Peabody’s Arborvita?)- 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., $2\ 3 to 4 ft., 
S3. 50’ 
T. occidentalis compacta (Compact Arbor vitae). A dwarf, dense- 
growing evergreen, with neat, bright green foliage. Used quite frequently 
for formal effects. to 2 ft., $1.50; 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.. I1.50; 3 to 4 ft., $1.75; 4 to 5 ft., ^2.25. 
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 i ft., $1; i to 
iM ft., $1.50; to 2 h., $2. 
TSUOA 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 (lualitics make them our most popular and most highly valued 
evergreens. One of our great specialties. 
Tciina (Hemlock Spruce). One of our 
1 au^Q. 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. I to i ft., 75 cts. ; i to 2 ft., $i ; 
2 to 3 ft., f 1.50: 3 to 4 ft., $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $4; 5 to 6 ft., $5 to $10, 
specimen. 
T. caroliniana (Southern Hemlock). Of quite distinct shape and 
beauty; foliage dense and dark green, i to 2 ft.. $2; 2 to 3 ft., $3, 
EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
This is a group of highly desirable evergreens of great ornamental 
value. They are also termed broad-leaved evergreens, to distinguish 
them from the needle-bearing or coniferous evergreens. They are of 
more or less dwarf, shrubby habit, and include many of our most beau- 
tiful natives as well as introductions from far-off countries and countless 
garden hybrids. While we enjoy their beautiful, glossy, and various- 
shaped evergreen leaves the year round, nearly all of them produce at 
certain seasons an abundance of rich or delicately tinted flowers. Ever- 
green shrubs transplant very easily, but they require a mellow soil, rich 
in humus and free of lime and acids. 
ANDROMEDA 
Andromeda floribunda; syn.. Pieris floribunda. A beautiful, 
dwarf-growing plant, with small, leathery foliage and wax-like blossoms 
reminding one of lily-of-the- valley spikes. Likes a partly shaded location. 
I to iK ft- Si. 75; iK to iM It., $2.25. 
A. japonica. Similar to the former with very rich and smooth 
foliage and overhanging racemes of waxy flowers in May and June. 
I to ft.. $1.50; iK to 2 ft., $2. 
ABELIA 
Abelia rupestris grandiffora. One of our most useful evergreen 
shrubs and very hardy. The graceful, arching branches are clothed with 
fine, dark, glossy leaves. The white flowers appear in profusion from 
spring until frost, i to 2 ft., 35c.. $3 for 10; 2 to 3 ft.. 50c.. $4.50 for 10. 
AZALEA 
Azalea amcena. A perfectly liardy, low, spreading shrub, useful for 
many purposes and especially with Rliododendrons. In May the claret- 
colored flowers appear in such abundance that they really hide every- 
thing beneath them, The tiny, ricli green foliage turns to a pleasing 
iironze tint in winter. 12 to 15 in., $1.25 each, $10 for 10; 15 to 18 in., 
$2 each, $15 for 10. 
A. Hinodegiri. A beautiful variety of the above and of characteristic 
Japanese appearance. The blossoms are larger and of a Irriglit scarlet. A 
profuse bloomer; hardy foliage. 8 to 12 in., Si.so; 12 to 15 in., $2. 
BUXUS • Boxwood 
This class of well-known, hardy evergreens, ranging through the dif- 
ferent species in size from real dwarf to medium-sized trees, are exten- 
sively used for many purposes. For permanent edging, hedges, grouping 
and specimens in strictly formal plantings, they have no equal. They 
transplant easily and safely because the roots hold a perfect ball. In 
rich, moist soil they will reach an indefinite age. Excellent tub- and vase- 
plants. 
Buxus sempervirens (Common Tree Box). The most popular of all 
the Box\voods. The variety used for edging is Dwarf Box, var. suffruti- 
cosa, and can be supplied in quantity at $io per too. We have all 
sizes and forms at the prices noted.
