Kelsey's Evergreens 
O N THE following pages are 
landscape grades — specimens r 
many times transplanted and 
shapely, dug with a ball of earth in 
burlap at prices shown. Such stock 
has had from five to fifteen or more 
years of careful work and training. It 
has been cultivated, sheared, shaped, 
staked and root-pruned faithfully. Do 
not compare prices with roadside stand 
stock often grown by farmers—marvel 
rather that honest stock can be pro¬ 
duced so cheaply!

Vervaen (T. occid. vervaeneana). II 
A very hardy variety which is broad, bushy and 
pyramidal. The foliage varies from a light grey- 
green to a yellowish green. On account of its 
extreme hardiness, it should be used more exten¬ 
sively in foundation groupings having a bleak 
exposure.
