EVERGREENS 
The following is a list of the better varieties of evergreens 
that are being used extensively in landscaping. We have found 
all of these varieties to be perfectly hardy and recommend them 
highly. These trees are well rooted and well shaped and are worthy 
of any planting. We have other varieties that are not listed here 
and would be glad to give prices on anything you want. We do 
not have Arbor Vitaes—they are not hardy here. LARGER SIZES

INSECT PESTS COMMON TO EVERGREENS 
The two most common insects that infest the Juniper and Spruce family, are 
red spider and aphis, or aphids as they are also known. Red Spider is detected 
readily by the foliage turning to a yellowish green, and later to a brown, dead 
needles when the infestation gets real bad; usually starting near the ground on 
upright growing trees, but appearing most any place on the prostrate or low grow¬ 
ing types. Treatment: A dusting of lime-sulphur to the infected area, or by 
spraying with two tablespoons full of carpenters liquid glue, to a gallon of water 
mixed warm. Aphis are readily seen in colonies upon close examination, usually 
on the underneath side of the branches, or on the main stem near the top of the 
tree. Where ants are noticed working around the branches of Evergreens, it is 
generally a sign of aphis being there. Easily controlled by spraying with black- 
leaf-forty, a tablespoon full to a gallon of water.
