The Conifers or Cone-bearing Evergreens embrace a wide variety 
of trees and shrubs, almost all of them with needle or scale-like ever¬ 
green foliage. Most of them are native to cold climates, and are, of 
course, admirably suited to mountain regions and other areas where 
the temperatures are low. However, many of them will do equally 
well anywhere in the California valleys or coastal regions.

ior a foreground planting.
