Columnar 
Evergreens 
Sometimes it is desirable to plant Evergreens of a 
columnar type and as there are a great many varieties 
ol these trees, we have grouped them together so that 
they can be readily distinguished. Some are fast grow¬ 
ing while others are of the dwarf, slow growing type.

leaves deep green, assuming a stiff, 
prickly habit, changing to russet in the 
Fall.

of merit. It is immune from severe Win¬

bright green or glaucous, prickly needles.
