BLUE ATLAS CEDAR 
This booklet is an attempt to get away from 
the style of the ordinary nursery catalog which 
usually covers too much ground. 
Out of our diversified stock we select a few of 
the best things and describe them as accurately 
and fully as space will permit. We have most of 
the staple, everyday articles but why waste space 
describing things everyone knows ? 
Woody plants—that is to say, trees, shrubs and 
vines—make up the permanent part of the garden 
so should be chosen with the greatest care. This 
booklet is devoted to that type of plants. We hope 
you will find it well worth not only reading but 
keeping for reference. 
CONIFERS 
BLUE ATLAS CEDAR (Cedrus atlantica glaiica). The intensely silvery foliage makes 
this the finest large tree of its type. Slender and somewhat irregular when young, it 
becomes with age a well filled out, gorgeous silvery pyramid. Requires plenty of room 
but where sufficient space is available it is about the finest possible outdoor Christmas 
tree as the branches do not droop at the tips. 
COMPACT DEODAR (Cedrus deodara compacta). The common Deodar is easily one 
of our finest trees but as it is extremely variable and soon attains great size it is un¬ 
suitable for ordinary grounds. On the other hand this charming variety is much more 
compact, very silvery and grows only about half as fast. Being grafted there is no 
variation. Where space is limited it is one of the best outdoor Christmas trees. 
FOUNTAIN DEODAR (Cedrus deodara fontinalis). A gem for those who appreciate 
the unusual. The most striking variant of the Deodar, it produces a mass of very long, 
slender, drooping, rope-like branches which give it a unique fountain-like appearance. 
The illustration of the original tree tells more than a longer description. Just intro¬ 
duced so only small plants available as yet. 
WINTERGOLDEN CYPRESS (Chamaecyparis 
lawsoniana stewarti). Most of the golden hued 
conifers, particularly the golden Arborvitaes, be¬ 
come green during the winter, but this beauty is 
as brilliantly golden in winter as in summer. 
Growth is rather slow, compact and erect with 
tips of branches gracefully curved. In form it is 
fairly wide for its height and very symmetrical. 
When planted with a background of green its rich 
golden color is greatly enhanced. 
BLUE ITALIAN CYPRESS (Cupressus glabra 
stricta). An exact counterpart of the well known 
Italian Cypress in form but the color is silvery 
blue. Growth is rapid, narrowly erect and slender. fountain deodar 
WEEPING DEODAR (Cedrus deodara repandens). If you dislike formality and stiff¬ 
ness this will certainly please you. The weeping tendency is so strong that it has to be 
kept staked when young to get it up in the world 
at all. After that it grows into a decidedly pic¬ 
turesque tree with all its branches drooping very 
irregularly in a way that is pleasing indeed.
