To secure privacy and to prevent the intrusion into the garden picture, of an unsightly 
building on an adjacent property, fully developed evergreens were used here to conceal its 
discordant features. We have a large collection of trees suitable for screening which we are 
offering at reduced prices. 
Evergreen Trees 
Three reasons why Rosedale Evergreens have become famous: (1) They are oft 
transplanted, to develop a mass of fibrous roots and compact growth. (2) Our expert 
system of packing. (3) Our soil is such that the burlapped ball will reach you in 
solid form 
PSEUDOTSUGA • Douglas-fir 
Colorado Variety 
The Douglas Spruce or Fir is the tree for the 
million. It would be difficult to over-rate its 
beauty. Its horizontal branches, with pendu¬ 
lous branchlets richly clothed with bright 
green foliage, render it a striking object in 
the landscape. The trees are hardy in Canada 
and endure both drought and cold. Those we 
planted at Lenox, Mass., in 1908, 1000 feet 
above sea level in the Berkshires, have stood 
that trying climate as well as the hardiest 
varieties known, and the foliage appears as 
bright and fresh in Spring as in Autumn. 
The Opinion of an Eminent Authority 
We quote from a most excellent article on 
evergreens by the late E. H. Wilson in the 
December (1915) Garden Magazine: “The 
Douglas-fir is one of the most valuable of all 
coniferous trees, and, from a horticultural 
viewpoint, one of the most indispensable. In 
the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, trees forty 
years of age are 50 feet and more tall and 
others about fifteen years old are 18 to 25 feet 
tall. The lower branches of these trees sweep 
the ground and the others incline upward and 
have a plumelike appearance. Either as a 
lawn tree, or for avenues, or for massing, the 
Douglas-fir is equally valuable and it needs 
no commendation.” 
The Douglas-fir will stand almost as much 
shade as the Hemlock and is unharmed by 
the severest winds.
