EVERGREEN TREES 
Before and after a foundation planting that fits the house — one year from planting 
Thuya, continued 
T. occidentalis pyramidalis (Pyramidal Arborvitae). This is one 
of the most shapely evergreens, having a uniform pyramidal outline 
which it retains at all times. Foliage is light green. Branches are nu- 
merous and dense. An excellent ornamental tree for specimen planting, 
as popular as the American Arborvita.*. 
T. occidentalis Reidii. A dwarf form, with spreading branches. 
Foliage is deep green and holds its color well all the year. Plant in masses 
or hedges. 
T. occidentalis Rosenthalii. Very dense dark green foliage on 
numerous branches, making a tree of compact habit. A good specimen 
tree. 
T. occidentalis Vervaeneana. A very compact form with slender 
branches and bronzy yellow foliage becoming deeper in winter. A good 
specimen tree. 
T. spicata aurea. A very desirable variety of handsome pyramidal 
form. Foliage is dark green in winter and light golden in summer. 
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. 
T. canadensis Sargentii pendula. A very beautiful tree of pro- 
nounced weeping habit. Foliage is sea-green and dense. Growth is 
rather compact. An excellent lawn tree. 
T. caroliniana (Carolina Hemlock). In a few ways this tree re- 
sembles Canadensis, but it is of more compact growth, and the foliage 
is a darker green. A fine-appearing tree on any lawn. Our plants of this 
variety are perfect. 
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 Catesbsei ( Leucothoe Catesbai). The foliage is vari- 
egated, turning to bronze in fall and winter. Flowers white. A low- 
growing shrub much used in border planting and under trees. A very 
pretty shrub. 
A. floribunda; syn., Pieris flor’bunda. 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. 
ABELIA 
Abelia grandiflora. 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 . 
AZALEA 
Azalea amoena (Hardy Evergreen Azalea). A bushy, low-growing 
shrub bearing purple flowers. The foliage is green in summer, becoming 
golden in fall and winter. A very neat shrub for ornamental effects. 
A. Hinodigiri. In some respects similar to Amoena. Foliage is 
bright green. Flowers are vivid bright red. A profuse bloomer and an 
excellent shrub for ornamental planting. 
A. indica alba. A beautiful shrub bearing an abundance of snowy 
white flowers. Hardy and appropriate for mass or specimen planting. 
A. Kaempferi. A new variety of great hardiness. Tall grower, 
bearing a myriad of dull red flowers of large size. An excellent shrub for 
planting anywhere. 
BUXUS • Boxwood 
Buxus sempervirens (Common Tree Box). The most popular of all 
the Boxwoods. The variety used for edging is Dwarf Box, B. sem- 
pervirens suffruticosa, and can be supplied in quantity. We have all 
sizes and forms at the prices noted. 
CALLUNA • Heather 
Calluna vulgaris (Scotch Heather). A low shrub of dense, compact 
habit. Leaves small, deep green, and very numerous. Flowers bell- 
shaped and a pleasing rosy pink in color. 
COTONEASTER 
Cotoneaster buxifolia (Box-leaved Cotoneaster). A low shrub with 
foliage resembling the Boxwood. Its habit is spreading and bushy. 
Bears small red berries in winter. Flowers white. 
C. horizontalis (Prostrate Cotoneaster). A dwarf variety of trailing 
habit. Foliage is dark green changing to bronzy red in the fall. In 
winter it bears a profusion of scarlet berries. An excellent shrub for 
planting in rock-gardens.

form of shrubby, prostrate habit. The leaves are small, shiny, and hairy 
on the under sides. Bears a profusion of white flowers followed by 
scarlet berries. 
C. Simonsii (Shining-leaved Rose Box). A tall-growing form, with 
wide-spreading branches. Foliage is deep green. Flowers white, and 
and followed by bright red berries. Foliage is not evergreen in the North. 
EUONYMUS 
Euonymus japonicus (Evergreen Euonymus). An ornamental 
shrub, with stiff glossy foliage. Can be used very effectively as tubbed 
plants. 
E. japonicus aureo-variegatus (Golden Euonymus). A very hardy 
variety, with leaves beautifully marked with golden yellow. 
ILEX Holly 
I. glabra ( Prinos glabee). (Inkberry; Winterberry). An erect bush, 
growing to about 4 feet in height. Leaves are long, narrow, and dark
