Mass Planting: of Evergreens. 
Evergreens 
We sive special attention to the propagation and cultivation of Evergreens. Our collection 
and stock compares favorably with any in America. VV^e have eliminated from our lists many 
tender species and varieties which cannot be grown successfully in our northern climate with- 
out being injured in winter. 
Kvorgrotui Plantings. Their exiiuisite winter aspect and varying shades of color through 
the year give them the highest value in ornamental planting, while the hardiest forms have 
great utility when used as windbreaks, screens and shelters. Along the seacoast, the Scotch 
and Austrian pines form barriers against the high winds, behind which large and val- 
uable plantations of tenderer deciduous trees and shrubs are gradually established. Their 
value and utility in almost every location cannot be overlooked.
