Why Evergreens are Valuable 
H OME owners are becoming 
increasingly aware of the 
gain in resale value which comes 
from well-planted grounds. The 
popularity of evergreens for 
ornament is growing, due to the 
fact that their beauty lasts the 
entire year: The trees seem 
even more beautiful in the 
winter months when the rest of 
the landscape appears bare and 
drab, they alone verdant . Then 
in the spring beautiful new 
growth appears in delicate shades of 
green, blue or white. 
Foundation Plantings 
OUNDATION plantings are usually 
made in groups, with taller trees at 
either side of the doorway, shorter ones 
spaced between, and more of the taller 
trees at the corners. A low spreading house 
should have the planting come only to the 
corner of the building. This has a tendency 
to make the house appear larger and taller. 
If the house is tall and narrow, extend 
the planting beyond each corner, using a 
taller tree there, to give the house a wider 
appearance. Pine, spruce, or arborvitae 
may all be used for the taller accents, while 
mugho pine and juniper are recommended 
beneath windows, because they do not grow 
rapidly and may be left in the same place 
for years. 
Why Northern 
Stock Pays 
T REES that withstand hard northern 
winters here at Cupsuptic should live 
through an exceptionally cold spell which 
might occur in any other locality. Note 
also that northern trees are adaptable to 
warmer climates. Therefore—think of 
Cupsuptic when you think of Evergreens.
