The Friendly 
EVERGREENS 
■ 
T HE development and introduction of the improved varieties of 
Evergreens has gone a long way towards solving the question of 
home planting. Evergreens can be freely used in foundation 
plantings, to mark and accent entrances, for formal effects or for bor' 
ders and shelter screens. Nothing is better for foundation planting 
than an assortment of Junipers, Taxus, etc. They give fine coloring all 
the year, supplying the needed touch of green to set off the winter’s 
landscape. Spruces, Pines and Firs make the very best windbreaks and 
shelter belts; Arbor-Vitaes being good for hedges and screens. Our 
Evergreens are transplanted several times, insuring a good root system. 
They are dug with a solid ball of dirt and handled in a manner to give 
our customers satisfactory results. We invite you to come and see these 
Evergreens and let us make suggestions as to the combinations that will 
give you satisfactory results.
