Evergreen Trees 
fERGREENS are of recognized value for growing singly 
or for massing, shelter bells, screens, etc. They make a 
good background for early llowering trees and shrubs, and 
when grown in boxes and tubs are very popular for the 
winter decoration of porches. By limiting our assortment 
to those succeeding in Dayton, we necessarily omit many species cata- 
logued by other establishments. 
ABIES balsamea. Balsam Fir. A very erect pyramidal tree, with 
dark green somber foliage. Grows rapidly and is very hardy. 
A. concolor. White Fir. This is the best strain of this exceedingly 
hardy tree from the western states. Grows rapidly and forms magnifi- 
cent specimens. Pale, glaucous blue needles that are nearly as effective 
as those of the popular Blue Spruce. 
A. Nordmanniana. Nokdmann’s Fir. Thick, dense tree of beautiful 
proportions. The needles are dark green and lustrous, with a silvery 
under surface that sparkles in the sun. This is one of the prettiest 
evergreens that we offer. It should be planted in a sheltered location. 
It is liable to injury from cold if too much exposed. 
PICEA Douglasii ( pseudotsuga) . Douglas’ Spruce. From Colo- 
rado. Large, conical form ; branches spreading, horizontal ; leaves 
light green above, glaucous below.
