This group of Evergreens consist of the type that 
mature into large trees from 30 to 75 feet tall. In plant¬ 
ing these trees great care should be taken so that they 
have sufficient space to develop properly and that their 
ultimate height will render itself to the best advantage. 
Tall Growing 
Evergreens 
Abies balsamea. Balsam Fir. The foliage 
is of a dark green color above, silvery 
beneath. It is widely known for its 
extremely pungent odor. 
Abies concolor. White Fir. One of the 
finest ornamental evergreens. It is 
almost as blue as the Colorado Blue 
Spruce. 
Abies douglasi. Red or Douglas-Jir. The 
Douglas-fir is one of the most valuable 
of all coniferous trees. A vigorous, sym¬ 
metrical and graceful tree which matures 
into large specimens. It is very hardy 
and will grow in almost as much shade 
as the Hemlock. 
Abies douglasi 
Picea excelsa. Norway Spruce. One of 
our best known evergreens. Adapted for 
specimens, windbreaks or hedges. A very 
hardy tree with dark green foliage and 
of rapid growth.

ly evergreen that assumes large propor¬ 
tions when matured. Sharp, dull green

Spruce. The same as the preceding va¬ 
riety, except that the foliage is blue. 
Picea pungens glauca kosteriana. 
Koster Blue Spruce. The bluest of Blue 
Spruces. This is the most remarkable 
and conspicuous of all the conifers for 
ornamental planting. Being symmetri¬ 
cal and shapely, its ideal purpose is as a 
specimen. 
Pinus densiflora. Japanese Red Pine. 
A tree of rapid growth when young. 
Branchlets are very light colored. 
Pinus flexilis. Limber Pine. Similar to 
White Pine except that the foliage is of a 
distinct blue color.

Tsuga canadensis 
Tsuga canadensis. American Hemlock. 
One of the most graceful and adaptable

Does well in the shade. Matures into 
fine specimens. Very useful in founda¬ 
tion plantings as it can be readily 
sheared. They make a splendid hedge 
or windbreak. We have a wonderful 
stock of I lemlock all of which have been 
frequently transplanted and sheared.
