Cole’s Evergreens for Home Planting 
Evergreens give a feeling of richness to the home landscape, and especially so during the 
winter months when the ground is covered with snow and when other shrubs and trees have 
lost their foliage. They are so very definite in their habit, color, and texture that every specimen 
counts very distinctly. Therefore, they should be selected and planted with great care, at the 
same time being sure to secure freshly dug plants that have been well grown in the nursery. 
We are constantly root-pruning, transplanting, shearing, and spraying our large acreage of 
Evergreens. We have given much study over a period of fifty years to their proper growing, 
so that you may be assured of pleasing success. 
Being unable to list all of our many varieties and sizes in this Catalogue, we invite you to 
inspect our blocks of perhaps a million Evergreens and personally select plants of your own 
choice. Here you will see plants of every description and size, from the small Trailing Juniper 
to the lofty Pine; trees to fit into difficult landscape schemes and for other special purposes. 
Our Evergreens are dug with liberal balls of earth about the roots and are securely wrapped 
with burlap. Most of these trees may be successfully transplanted every month of the year.
