Evergreens 
Rich in Foliage and Color 
All varieties offered here do exceptionally well in this territory 
The splendid form and color of Evergreens is most keenly 
appreciated in the Winter when by contrast their rich green 
gives a note of warmth and cheer to the drab Winter landscape. 
Our evergreens have been grown with plenty of space to develop 
choice specimens with shapely tops. They have the close, com¬ 
pact root system so necessary for successful transplanting. 
ARBORVITAE (Thuja) 
American Arborvitae (Thuja occiden- 
talis). One of the most extensively 
planted of all evergreens. Rather dwarf 
habit of growing. Foliage flat instead 
of needlelike and sets on edge, color 
bright green. Used as specimens for 
the lawn, in tubs for porches, and for 
hedges and screens and to break the 
force of Winter winds. 
Arborvitae, American Compacta 
(Thuja occidentalis compacta). 
Dwarf, compact grower resembling 
Globe, but somewhat more upright and 
not quite so compact. 
American Pyramidal Arborvitae 
(Thuja occidentalis pyramidalis). 
An exquisite, close grown, compact 
little tree with bright green foliage 
throughout all seasons. 
Berckmans Golden (Biota aurea 
nana). Very dwarf, compact and sym¬ 
metrical habit; a perfect gem for small 
gardens or cemetery lots. It far sur¬ 
passes, in every way, its parent, the old 
Biota aurea. For window boxes and 
vases this plant is most effective. 
Chinese Arborvitae (Thuja orientalis) . 
A compact, spirelike form, succeeding 
admirably in the Southern States. 
Adaptable to a wide range of uses. At¬ 
tains a height of 10 to 12 ft. but can be 
kept sheared to anv desired height. 
Chinese Compacta (Thuja orientalis 
compacta). Dwarf, dense little trees 
with light green foliage, neat and attrac¬ 
tive. Useful for beds, borders. 
Chinese Golden (Thuja orientalis 
aurea). Resembles Berckmans Golden 
in color and texture of foliage but is 
more pyramidal. Differs from the 
Pyramidal Golden by having more 
spread. 
Chinese Pyramidal Arborvitae (Thuja 
orientalis pyramidalis). One of our 
best sellers among the pyramidals. 
Broader and a better grower than the 
American type. 
Chinese Golden Pyramidal (Thuja 
orientalis aurea pyramidalis). Most 
erect grower of the Chinese Golden 
type. 
Geo. Peabody Arborvitae (Thuja oc¬ 
cidentalis lutea) . This variety is simi¬ 
lar to the American Arborvitae, except 
that the foliage is golden when exposed 
to the direct rays of the sun. It is by 
far the best of the American Golden 
types. 
Globe Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 
globosa). A dwarf, round, dense head 
of handsome American Arborvitae foli¬ 
age. Does not require shearing. Grows 
3 to 4 ft. tall; foliage is deep, dark green, 
its little branches being of unusual 
delicacy. 
Goldspire Arborvitae (Biota aurea 
conspicua). 10-12 ft. Gayly dressed 
in bright yellow foliage that deepens 
to glowing old gold and warm brown in 
Winter. 
Arborvitae, Golden-tipped (Thuja 
elegantissima). Compact, pyramidal, 
dwarf grower. Lustrous green foliage, 
golden tipped. 
Siberian (Thuja occidentalis ware- 
ana). A superb hardy variety, some¬ 
what similar to American. 
Arborvitae spiralis (Thuja conspicua). 
Upright, spiral growth. Effective when 
used with Berckmans and other more 
compact types. 
Tom Thumb Arborvitae (Thuja occi¬ 
dentalis ellwangeriana). An excep¬ 
tionally dwarf growing variety, globe- 
shaped and seldom reaching 2 ft. in 
height. Very bright green in Summer, 
changing to bronze in Winter. 
* 
Canadian Hemlock 
(Isuga canadensis) 
CEDARS (Cedrus) 
Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara). The 
famous Cedar of the Himalayan Moun¬ 
tains. In its native land attains a height 
of 75 ft. A soft, silvery blue foliage 
which blends beautifully with our 
native Hemlocks and Firs. 
Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani). 
This historic tree needs no introduction 
because of its association with sacred 
writings. Hardier than the Deodar. 
CRYPTOMERIA 
Common Cryptomeria (Cryptomeria 
japonica). A splendid evergreen tree 
from 60 to 100 ft. high, which comes 
from the north of Japan. Requires a 
rich, deep soil, with plenty of moisture 
and protection from cutting winds to 
fully develop its beauty. 
CYPRESS 
Cypress, Lawson’s Blue (Chamaecy- 
paris lawsoniana). This is a form of 
medium height which is quite broad at 
the base but tapers to a pointed tip. Its 
branches have a graceful droop and 
foliage that is dark green on the upper 
surface and a silvery green beneath. 
Not always hardy at points north of 
Washington, D C. Difficult to trans¬ 
plant. 
FIR (Abies) 
All Standard Varieties 
Balsam-dr (Abies balsamea). Regular 
and symmetrical in growth, hardy, na¬ 
tive, thriving in moist soils and cool cli¬ 
mates. One of most beautiful evergreens 
grown and attractive the year through. 
Concolor-fir (Abies concolor). A gem 
from the Rocky Mountains, rarely 
exceeding 20 ft. in height in the East. 
Intense silver gray foliage something 
like Colorado Blue Spruce, but of a 
softer texture, longer, broader, flatter, 
with needles more blunt. 
Douglas (Pseudotsuga douglasi). Very 
tall growing. Leaves light green above, 
glaucous below. Much used for lawn 
specimens. 
HEMLOCK 
Hemlock, Canadian (Tsuga canaden¬ 
sis). One of the most useful and most 
satisfactory Coniferous Evergreens 
known. It will succeed in either full 
sunlight or shade. It can be effectively 
used as a specimen or in groups. Noth¬ 
ing makes a more desirable hedge.
