EVERGREENS FOR YEAR-ROUND BEAUTY 
ABIES—DOUGLAS FIR 
Evergreens are always impressive in Winter. 
They give a note of cheer and warmth to the 
Winter landscape. The influence of evergreens 
around the home gives a friendly aspect to our 
surroundings. If for no other reason, the Winter 
effect alone makes evergreens worthwhile. 
It is satisfactory to know that your planting 
of evergreens increases in value each year. At 
the same time it adds dignity and stability to the 
appearance of your home grounds and without 
question makes them more readily saleable. 
Each (x) indicates one transplanting. (B&B) 
signifies balled and burlapped.

JUNIPERUS—JUNIPER 
Communis Depressa (Common Prostrate Juniper). This is 
a rather low-spreading plant, extending along the sur¬ 
face of the ground, often to a distance of seven to 
eight feet in every direction. The extremities of the 
branches are usually ascending, but rarely to a greater 
height than three feet. The leaves are sharp-pointed, 
gray-green, marked on the upper surface by broad white 
bands, light silvery beneath.

Communis Depressa Plumosa (Andorra Juniper). One of 
the finest Evergreens recently introduced. If you are 
seeking a good novelty of exceptional merit, your plant¬ 
ing should include this tree. It is the most satisfactory 
low-growing variety. 
As soon as the frost comes in the Fall, it changes to a' 
rich, purple-bronze color. This is not the brownish 
winter color some evergreens develop but a real red¬ 
dish purple color, entirely distinct in this respect from 
all evergreens. During the Spring and Summer it is 
bright green. It is still rare and stocks are limited.

Concolor (White Fir). Must be considered as a decided ac¬ 
quisition, the general outline being symmetrical but 
without stiffness. The spread of branches in young and 
healthy trees being wide in proportion to the height 
warns intending planters that sufficient space should 
be given for perfect development. Concolor Fir is also 
known as “Silver Fir”, “White Fir.” It can be planted 
in groups or in single specimens.

growing and most beautiful of the evergreens in the 
Western states. It reaches sixty feet or more in height 
with a spread of from twelve to eighteen feet on the 
branches. Foliage is green with bluish bottom. No 
garden should be without a Douglas Fir.
