FILLIFERA, The leading shoot grows up¬ 
right but the other thread like branches are 
nearly horizontal, with long drooping tassle 
like ends. The foliage is a good solid green 
which shows up very good against the red 
brown bark. 
PISIFERA. Open and tall in growth, with 
erect branches. The foliage is light green, 
very feathery and glaucous beneath. A good 
variety for group planting. 
PLUMOSA. Upright with good green foliage 
giving the appearance of a large mass of 
plumes. Very attractive when these grace¬ 
ful branches are being swung slightly in a 
breeze. 
PLUMOSA AUREA. A very beautiful, com¬ 
pact plant with its golden yellow foliage, 
which is soft and plume like. A very good 
plant to use in a mass planting as its yellow 
color shows up to an advantage among other 
green evergreens. 
SQUARROSA. Dense, rounded, fluffy growth; 
the silvery blue foliage is arranged in soft 
spirals. Should be used where it is partially 
protected to avoid sunburn. 
SAVIN. Beautiful moss green foliage. Used 
as a filler in evergreen groups and when 
used beneath low windows gives a most 
pleasing effect.

spirally along the trunk and acquires the 
symmetry of a broken column. The branches 
are long and whip like, and densely fur¬ 
nished with rich dark green foliage. The 
first new growth in the spring gives the 
impression that the plant is covered with 
silver beads. 
PLANTING AND 
CARE 
When planting it is 
not absolutely neces¬ 
sary to remove the 
burlap but the plant 
will always have a 
better chance to grow 
when it has been re¬ 
moved. 
When dry weather 
comes it is advisable 
to water newly plant¬ 
ed evergreens or they 
may be mulched well 
when planted. When 
watering becomes 
necessary do not wa¬ 
ter every day but at 
intervals of a week 
or ten days. It is 
much better to give 
a good soaking twice 
a week than to just 
sprinkle the top soil 
every day.
