Roeding's Quality CONIFERS 
Conifers are the most important 
group of trees. They form the 
background of your planting. Up¬ 
on their quality, form and loca¬ 
tion depends much of the beauty 
and charm of your garden. Be¬ 
cause of their permanence and 
dignity they have an individuality 
that brings them into a very inti¬ 
mate relation with those in whose 
gardens they are placed.
