Coniferous Evergreens 
Evergreens are always in favor for landscape work, their deep green foliage making a 
strong background for the brilliant colors of summer; but it is in winter that they are most 
appreciated, the absence of other colors tending to bring out their beauty of form in a most 
striking manner. They can be used in foundation or corner plantings, as single specimens 
on the lawn or along the driveway, as hedges, windbreaks, and in many delightful ways.
