BEAUTIFUL CONIFERS 
r Here at Augusta ive have some of the most beautiful coniferous' 
evergreens to be found. Wonderful soil, ideal climate, and 
expert growers make FRUITLAND conifers the best for you. ^ i 
E VERY day ill the year the Evergreens have an important place 
in the landscape picture. In summer, the foliage enriches the 
color of shade trees and shrubs; in winter, when days are dull 
and gardens sleeping, the Evergreens show their forms and color- 
tones in a most appealing fashion, and when the new growth breaks 
in spring we know that King Winter has retreated and that the 
“Time of the singing of birds” is at hand. 
To keep Coniferous Evergreens beautiful through the years, they 
should be fertilized annually. The best season is in March, just be¬ 
fore the new growth begins. Well-rotted manure is the best fer¬ 
tilizer to use. If this is not to be had, sheep-manure and bonemeal 
C. libani (Cedar of Lebanon). 50 ft. This 
historical tree needs no introduction on 
account of its association with antiquity 
and sacred writings. It is hardier than 
C. deodara. Foliage dark green, some¬ 
times almost bluish. Each 
5 to 6 ft.$4.00 
4 to 5 ft. 3.00 
CEPHALOTAXUS . Plum-Yew 
Cephalotaxus drupacea (Japanese Yew). 4 
ft. A rare and dwarf-growing Yew, al¬ 
most trailing in its habit. An excellent 
plant for rockeries and ground-covering, 
or where a low, spreading effect is de¬ 
sired. Each 10 
18 to 24-in. spread .$2.00 $17.50 
15 to 18-in. spread . 1.50 12.50 
12 to 15-in. spread . 1.00 9.00 
C. harringtonia (C. pendunculata). 10 to 15 
ft. Medium-sized tree of compact and 
rather bushy habit. Leaves from 1 to 2 
inches long, dark glossy green. A beau¬ 
tiful variety. 
C. harringtonia fastigiata (Spiral or Ko¬ 
rean Plum-Yew). 8 ft. Upright growing 
variety of bushy habit, with narrow, 
dark green foliage. Very hardy. This 
closely resembles the Irish Yew. 
Above two Yews: Each 10 
18 to 24 in.$1.50 $12.50

NOTE—We can supply many of the con¬ 
ifers In larger sizes. Write for prices. 
A block of Cedrus deodara and other conifers 
are very satisfactory. Keep the soil loosened. If plants are in beds, 
these beds should be worked up at least 6 inches from the outside 
of the branches. If specimen plants, make a circle at least 12 
in. outside branches of plant. Keep this free from weeds and grass. 
Practically all conifers may be pruned, and thus kept shapely. The only 
species not usually pruned are Pinus and Cephalotaxus. Shearing may 
be done not later than May and June, as growth is slow on certain varieties, 
and plant would be too formal and stiff during the winter if pruned later. 
Very little spraying is necessary for Coniferous Evergreens—usually two 
sprayings of 16 tablespoonfuls of Fungi-Bordo and 2 teaspoonfuls of Black- 
Leaf 40 to each gallon of water will control the fungous and insect disease 
of these plants—one spraying in May or June and another in July or August. 
Our conifers are grown in the most careful and scientific manner. Nearly 
all of the open-ground plants have been grown one year in pots and then in 
the open ground and are afterwards several times transplanted, and there¬ 
fore have excellent root-systems. 
The figures after each name denote ultimate height of plant.

Cedrus deodara. 50 ft. The Great Cedar of the Himalayan Mountains. A 
stately tree with glaucous green foliage and feathery spreading branches.

CHAMAECYPARIS . Retinospora 
JAPAN CYPRESS 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Cupressus law- 
soniana). Lawson Cypress from Cali¬ 
fornia and Oregon, where they are tim¬ 
ber trees to 100 ft. In cultivation they 
usually are about 10 to 20 ft. Valuable, 
as they thrive in moist shady locations 
where so few conifers will grow. Should 
not be planted in dry hot locations. 
FRUITLAND NURSERIES has four dis¬ 
tinct and beautiful varieties which we 
have selected as being the best for the 
South.

press). 12 ft. Foliage beautiful metallic 
silvery blue color. Branchlets flattened 
and very close together. A symmetrical 
tree, well adapted for use on the coast.

18 to 24 in . 1.00 9.00 
C. obtusa. 12 ft. Similar to C. obtusa 
nana, except that it is not dwarf in 
growth nor as compact. Each 
3 to 4 ft.$2.00 
2 to 3 ft. 1.50 
C. obtusa nana (Dwarf Hinoki Cypress). 6 
ft. Somewhat irregular in outline, this 
dwarf form of Chamaecyparis relieves the 
monotony of more formal conifers. The 
foliage is a rich dark green, holding its 
color during the entire year. In growth
