EVERGREENS 
This class of tree represents a wise investment for most 
home owners, requiring little care and giving substantial 
returns in beauty and improvement to the home grounds. 
We recommend that Junipers, Arborvitae and Mugho 
Pine be planted as a fore ground for the home and the 
taller growing Spruce and Pine be used as ornaments for 
the yard. Our Landscape Department will gladly assist 
you in making the proper choice for the location you have 
in mind.

shrub sometimes reaching a width of ten feet. Leaves needle-shaped, 
dark green The general effect of this shrub is one of very graceful pointed
