The Decorative Value of 
Evergreens 
T HE beauty of deciduous trees and shrubs is wrought in 
stately lines of trunk and arching branch, of opening 
bud, gay flower and cool green of spreading leaf. These 
aptly suit the spirit of our changing seasons, while through 
nature’s shifting scenery from white of Winter snows and 
flowered Spring to bronzing Autumn the Evergreens sound a 
pleasant note of contrast in form and color among their de¬ 
ciduous neighbors. 
Varying in form from the spreading Yews and Junipers 
to columnar Cedar and Japanese Cypress they are especially 
appropriate in planting close to the house and garden, giving a 
proper setting to the architectural design and lending warmth 
of color to the Winter scene. 
The Pines, Spruces, Firs and Hemlocks are pre-eminently 
fitting in border, screen or windbreak, where they form a beauti¬ 
ful background for smaller flowering trees and shrubs planted 
in front of them. Their pleasing color note of fresh needles 
in Spring and their interesting form accent the beauty and 
grace of Summer flower and the tracery of Winter twig and 
branch. 
The Evergreens are later in starting into growth than 
deciduous trees and one of the most favorable times for Spring 
planting is in April and May. All of our Evergreens are lifted 
with a large ball of earth and fibrous roots,—“B & B.”
