EVERGREENS Continued 
MEYERI. An upright form of a naturally 
spreading type. Used as a filler in group 
plantings of evergreens and highly valued 
because of its contrasting steel blue color. 
SWEDISH. Tall growing and very similar 
to Irish Juniper in habit of growth. One of 
the most hardy of the pillar types. The fo¬ 
liage is grayish green and the tips of the 
branches slightly droop. 
VIRGINIANA, Red Cedar. A very popular 
native American tree. The fine dense fo¬ 
liage which varies in color from a dark 
green in summer to a dark purple in winter 
makes this plant one of the best for any 
landscape. It is an upright columnar tree 
and is best used beside a door step or in the 
rear of other evergreen plantings. 
CANNARTI. A new type that has become 
one of our leading specimens. It has deep 
rich green heavily tufted foliage, keeping 
this fine color throughout the winter. It 
can be readily trimmed and thus kept at any 
desired size. Some trees bear shiny blue 
berries which remain on the plant most of 
the winter. 
GUAUCA, Blue Cedar. This well known va¬ 
riety is a popular favorite because of its 
silvery-blue color. When the new growth 
comes out in the spring it is steel blue in 
color and sets the plant off to a great ad¬ 
vantage. It is without any doubt one of the 
finest evergreens to use for an accent 
DEPRESSA PLUMOSA. This evergreen is 
usually considered as a creeper but it is up 
off of the ground and is not in the same 
class as some of the more prostrate varie¬ 
ties. It has a rich green color in the spring 
and summer but changes to a rich purple 
shade in the autumn and remains so all win¬ 
ter. Used well as a ground cover or in front 
of taller evergreens in the border. May also 
be used to advantage in rock gardens, or 
planted along the tops of retaining walls. 
KETLERI. A type similar to glauca but en¬ 
tirely different in color. Tall, upright grow¬ 
er and is always a perfect conical specimen. 
Fairly broad at the base and always very 
full and dense. The foliage is fine, and a 
grayish green in color. Often used in place 
of the more popular Pyramidal Arbor Vitae, 
but is better and should always be planted 
where it may receive partial or full sun¬ 
light. 
PINES 
AUSTRIAN. Broad based, heavily needled 
with color darkest and richest of all the 
pines. Densely and evenly branched, the 
new growth erect and looks like silver can¬ 
dles on the branches. Must be planted only 
in places allowing broad and tall growth. 
Withstands city smoke better than any other 
conifer. 
MUGHO PINE. The only dwarf pine. Leaves 
short, stiff, and very formal. Branches short 
and very close to each other giving the ap¬ 
pearance of a solid mass of dark rich green. 
Grows spreading usually assuming a globu¬ 
lar form. Used in the foreground of plant¬ 
ings and for accent points. 
RED PINE. Round topped at maturity and 
very hardy. Resembles Austrian but has 
more slender, softer and denser needles. The 
short russet brown cones stand out against 
the dark green needles. 
SCOTCH. Very valuable for screen planting 
because of its fast vigorous growth. Usual¬ 
ly grows taller than the Austrian pine and 
shows a little reddish brown in its bark and 
cones.
