EVERGREEN TREES 
Evergreens are very desirable, but they are difficult to transplant, and both the 
time and manner of transplanting should be looked to. They should never be set in 
the fall after the growth of other trees has ceased. They may be set in August, or 
after they have started in May, but they should be subjected to as little exposure as 
possible and be set with great care. 
Arbor Vitae (Thuja). 
AMERICAN — (Oceidentalis) — This is 
one of the very finest evergreens for 
hedges. It is very hardy, and if set 
at the proper time, with care and 
without due exposure, it may be re- 
lied upon to live, but small plants 12 
to 18 inches high, which have been 
transplanted several times, are pref- 
erable. It bears shearing better than 
any other variety and may be made 
a very beautiful and dense hedge or 
screen to divide grounds, or for any 
purpose where it is not required to 
resist cattle or other animals. 
COMPACT A A dwarf, compact va- 
riety, with a conical head; of bright 
green color; perfectly hardy. A na- 
tive of Japan. 
IIEATIl-LEAVED AMERICA N—

ceedingly hardy, keeping color well 
in winter; growth compact and pyra- 
midal; makes an elegant lawn tree. 
TOM THUMB — Similar to the Heath- 
Leaved, but more desirable; remark- 
able for slow, compact growth; valu- 
able for planting in cemeteries and 
small places where large trees are 
not admissible. 
RETTNOSPORA — (Japanese Cypress) 
This group includes a species very 
different in habit and a number of 
pretty distinct colors. They give an 
exceedingly pretty effect in outdoor 
groupings and grow in tubs or win- 
dow boxes. Are valuable for house 
decorations in winter. Outdoor 
growths or specimens need some pro- 
tection in winter.

white, giving the branches a very 
pretty silver-mottled effect.

ing their color during the severest 
winter; grows rapidly and is very 
hardy.

Queen of l iis, clothed in robes of 
ermine and emerald. Its delicate, 
feathery foliage and handsome 
shades of coloring render this one of 
the most beautiful lawn trees. 
Juniper (Juniperus). 
AMERICAN UPRIGHT — A remark- 
able pretty little tree, with dense 
upright growth anti handsome, fasti- 
giate form. The ends of the young 
shoots have a recurving habit, which 
renders the foliage quite graceful.
