"Roeding's Quality ## CONIFERS 
Abies Balsamea 
Abies Concolor 
Conifers are the most important 
group of trees. They form the 
background of your planting. 
Upon their quality, form and 
location depends much of the 
beauty and charm of your gar¬ 
den. Because of their permanence 
and dignity they have an indiv¬ 
iduality that brings them into a 
very intimate relation with those 
in whose gardens they are placed.
