Evergreens 
E VERGREENS are as necessary in the planting of the home-grounds as a good lawn. The restful green of their lovely foliage 
brings peace and satisfaction to our over-wrought minds. The large trees not only furnish delightful shade during the hot days 
of summer, but their very appearance is cool and refreshing. One learns to love the touch of the soft, silky needles of many 
varieties and to inhale their fragrance, which is always soothing. There are so many desirable things among the Conifers that one could 
have beautiful grounds by using only Evergreens and grass. There are tiny, sprawling plants suitable for the rockery or a ground-cover, 
other slow-growing dwarf ones that will hardly equal a man’s height during his lifetime, lovely shrubby types, and some of the most 
graceful of all trees, and the great Sequoia sempervirens, which, if allowed enough centuries to grow, will eventually rear its head so far 
in the clouds that we have to lean far back to see it. 
There are strange plants among this family, too, for those who like “different” things: Evergreens with golden foliage, some with 
purplish tints, and, of course, the famous Blue Spruces, so highly prized by many. 
On these pages we offer a selection of Coniferous Evergreens. The prices are for exceptionally fine, well-shaped and well-grown, 
sheared and root-pruned trees dug with a generous amount of soil and burlapped.
