EVERGREENS^ 
Pyramidal Arbor-Vitae. 
Douglas Fir. 
There has been, in recent years, a constantly increas' 
ing tendency to replace outworn shrub plantings with 
evergreens. The slightly higher original cost is largely 
offset by the immediate effect, permanence with little 
care, and yearmound beauty. With the great variety of 
colors, shapes and foliage now available, evergreens are 
the ideal material for foundation and massed plantings, 
greatly accentuating the beauty of the home and grounds. 
And they blend well with flowering plants, allowing 
beauty and fragrance of bloom, but avoiding the bare, 
bleak effect in the winter of shrubs and perennials used 
alone. Some of the varieties make fine windbreaks, their 
closely interwoven leaves and branches effectively pro¬ 
tecting your home from the cold blasts of winter.
