Concotor Fir 
N EVER have Evergreens been so popular for use on home grounds 
as they are today. In this family you will find varieties for all 
sorts of uses—tall trees for screens, spreading specimens for 
entrance and foundation groups, globe forms for formal plantings, 
dwarf varieties for borders and rock gardens and scores of places 
where other plants do not quite fit the needs. In summer, evergreens 
give a refreshing coolness to the scene, and in winter their cheerful 
colors break the dull winter landscape. A good selection of Ever¬ 
greens is a permanent investment, increasing in value yearly. Hillen- 
meyer Evergreens have made a reputation for quality in root-system, 
in form, and in vigor. At our prices they are a genuine bargain. 
Abies - Fir 
Abies concolor. Silver or White Fir The best of the Firs and rivals 
Colorado Blue Spruce in showiness. We think it is one of the 
choicest of Evergreens and an ideal specimen plant. In color it 
ranges from pale blue-green to blue, the needles being attractively 
distributed around the branches. Once established it is better able 
to withstand drought, as well as the soot and dust of city condi¬ 
tions. Of comparatively slow growth but as hardy as an oak.

A. bolsameo. Balsam Fir As the name implies, its foliage has a 
pleasing aromatic perfume. Makes an attractive, moderately 
rapid-growing tree, resembling the spruce. 
4 to 5 ft.$4.00 
3 to 4 ft. 3.00 
A. froseri. Fraser Fir. Forms a narrow pyramid of deep green foliage, 
with under side lighter green Perfectly hardy and free of all 
winter or insect injury. Each 
4 to 5 ft.$4.00 
3 to 4 ft. 3.00 
2 to 3 ft. 2.00 
Chamaecyparis 
(Japan Cypress) 
Chamaecyparis pisifera. Sawara Cypress. The foliage resembles that 
of the Arbor-Vitae, and the tree grows decidedly erect, with 
graceful branches. When sheared, the foliage develops its true 
color especially well; it is lacy in appearance and silvery beneath. 
Fine in the foundation planting where a heavy plant is wanted, 
and on the lawn it makes an attractive specimen. 
Bottom Left—Spreading Juniper 
Top Center—Mugho Pine 
Right—Spreading Yew 
J. communis depressa plumosa. Purple Spreading Juniper. A very 
unusual variety, remaining close to the ground and in summer 
has a silvery reflex to the otherwise gray-green foliage. In fall 
and winter assumes a purplish cast that is unusual in 
Evergreens. Fine for rock-work or low planting. Each 
4 ft.$4.50 
3 to 4 ft. 3.50 
2’A to 3 ft. 3.00 
2 to 21/2 ft . 2.50 
Juniperus - Juniper 
Juniperus chinensis mascula. Green Chinese Juniper. A selected green type 
that is hardier and of better form. Branching habit, slightly more open 
than others; the unusual terminal growth makes it highly desirable in 
winter. Holds its color when other Evergreens are dull. Each 
5 to 6 ft.$5.00 
4 to 5 ft. 4.00 
3 to 4 ft. 3.00 
J. chinensis pfitzeriana. Pfitzer Juniper. The most popular of the spreading 
types. The branches spread horizontally, with the terminals slightly 
drooping. It lies close to the ground, and for edging larger plantings has 
no superior, supplying the flowing lines demanded in landscape plantings. 
Foliage gray-green in summer and winter, and will withstand the soot and 
dust of cities. Each 
4 to 5 ft.$4.00 
3 to 4 ft. 3.50 
3 ft. 3.00 
2 to 3 ft. 2.50 
2 ft. 2.00 
1 1/2 to 2 ft. 1.50 
C. pisifera aurea. Golden Sawara Cypress. Has all the characteristics 
of the form described above, except that the foliage is a light 
green or bordering on yellow. Both will do well in city planting 
where some tenderer Evergreens fail. 
C. pisifera plumosa. Plumed Cypress. Foliage grayish green, very 
finely cut, and feathery in appearance. It resembles a finely cut 
fern frond ct certain stages of its development. Pyramidal in 
habit of growth. Will make a wonderful specimen if kept sheared 
as all Cypress should be. 
C. pisifera plumosa aurea. Golden Plumed Cypress. Similar in type 
to the preceding green form. The young foliage is light green, 
bordering on yellow. One of the most popular sorts for contrast.

summer. Each

Staked Trees of Pfitzer Juniper. Frequently the usual Pfitzer Juniper 
cannot be used where a semi-erect plant is needed. Therefore, we 
have "staked up" a quantity of selected trees, training them to a 
single stem and allowing them to develop side branches. Thus they 
make an attractive vigorous plant for restricted places. Sizes and 
prices same as for standard Pfitzer Juniper.
