Evergreen Trees 
The splendid advantages resulting from a judicious planting of evergreens are many, and no grounds are complete 
without them. J hey aid materially in giving color to the landscape in 'Winter; are useful for making windbreaks and 
hedges and for screening unsight ly objects from view. The dwarf varieties are used very extensively for foundation 
plantings where their variety of foliage, shape and color gain their favor as an all the year plant. 
The botanical names of Trees, Shrubs, etc., in this catalogue conform to the 1917 Official Code of Standardized Plant 
Names, adopted and published bv the American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomenclature and as first published 
in Volume VI of Bailey s Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.

them useful for grouping, bedding, and formal effects. 
The tall growing varieties make a splendid background 
for shrubbery and perennial plantings.
