EVERGREEN SHADE TREES 
The Evergreens embrace some of the 
most beautiful trees and shrubs in culti¬ 
vation. With a variety of climates such 
as are prevalent on the Pacific Coast, nearly 
every evergreen tree or shrub can be suc¬ 
cessfully grown. They are invaluable as 
screens against objectionable objects, wind¬ 
breaks and hedges. The evergreen has 
made possible some of the most enchanting 
results in ornamental planting.

the finest American trees; foliage of a light

sweet-scented, appearing in May in great
