Evergreens and Conifers 
Some Rare and Unusual Evergreens Are Listed Here 
T HE improvement in business conditions is reflected in the increased activity in home-building, and 
further evidenced in the great movement for beautifying the home and its surroundings, conducted 
by scores of magazines throughout the country. 
New homes need the stately Evergreens, not only to be in style, but to impart an air of permanence and 
stability to them. Evergreens are beautiful both summer and winter, as Longfellow puts it, 
Green not alone in summertime, 
But in the winter’s frost and rime. 
The value of an evergreen tree is not to be decided by its height alone, but by its general form and 
shapeliness. Some have to be clipped in the spring to make them symmetrical if such an effect is desired, 
which is not always the case.
