CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
These plants make beautiful individual lawn speci¬ 
mens. The different colors—yellow, green, dark green, 
and blue-green—give striking effect when planted in 
masses, either when groups are made up of a single 
kind, or of a number of different kinds. They make 
an excellent background for other shrubs 
and are of great value in foundation 
plantings. For hedges they are unsur¬ 
passed. In planting for a hedge, they 
should be given more distance than 
other hedge plants—4 to 5 feet apart 
is not too much. As plants for porches 
or porch-steps, they are very satisfac¬ 
tory. They are hardy and long 
lived. The conifers grown at 
Glen Saint Mary and offered 
to our customers have been 
tested for many years, and 
include the finest material 
for Southern gardens.
