LOCKE POTEET NURSERY 
CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
Needle-leaved and cone-bearing trees, including many varieties, among which are the Arborvitaes, 
Cypresses, Cedars, Junipers, and Pines. Conifers when properly placed add more distinction as well as 
age and beauty to a planting. Their growth is so slow that they never outgrow their places. The lower 
limbs of Conifers should always be allowed to remain, for in removing them natural beauty is destroyed. 
ARBOR VITAE 
Many people prefer Arborvitaes on account of 
their formal, symmetrical shapes and as they are 
such varying types, even as to shape and color, they 
make groupings for various locations so that they 
are indispensable as there is some kind suitable 
for every landscape use. 
There are two types of Arborvitae known as 
Occidental and Oriental. The Occidentals are gen¬ 
erally not suited for Southern States, while the 
Oriental, or Chinese, types all do well in the South.

CEDARS 
Few trees are more permanent than the varieties 
of Cedars. They lend dignity to the garden, giving 
interest, variety and accent to the plantings un¬ 
excelled by any other evergreen. The stately Cedars 
are indispensible for use in groups or specimen 
plantings. 
Cedrus deodara, 100 ft. (Deodar) —The finest 
conifer is the famous Deodar Cedar from the Him¬ 
alaya mountains. It makes a magnificent stately 
tree of towering pyramidal form, with broad base, 
slendering to a pointed tip. Foliage is rich silvery- 
gray with gracefullly weeping branches. It should 
be given a location where it will have plenty of 
room to spread out since it makes a large tree 
in the course of a year. 
C. Atlantica, 40 ft. —A beautiful symmetrical 
specimen tree of open habit, with foliage of sil¬ 
very-blue. 
Bonita, Globe or Cone (T. or. bonita) —This, the 
most beautifully shaped of all the Arborvitaes; 
originated in the Comal Springs Nursery- It was 
a dwarf and stood four years in the nursery rows 
and could not be sold because of its size. When it 
was noticed that the small tree developed into a 
strikingly beautiful specimen it was taken from 
the nursery and transplanted, on to the private 
grounds where it developed into the most beautiful 
evergreen we have ever known. From this tree cut¬ 
tings were later sent to greenhouses and it was 
found that they could be grown successfully from 
cuttings, thus making it possible to grow exact 
duplicates of the old plant in any quantity. Today 
it is found in every southern nursery. The tree 
grows, without trimming, into a perfect globe. 
Foliage is dark green and arranged almost like the 
leaves in a book. Excellent for urns or tubs. Beau¬ 
tiful rich green color.
