Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa 
Specimen Evergreens 
—Tom Thumb, Thuja ellwangeriana, 4 to 6 ft. 
Dwarf, dense, soft texture. Purple winter coloring. 
CHAMAECYPARIS pisifera filifera (Thread 
Retinospora), 15 to 20 ft. 
Long stringy drooping branches, bright green. 
FIR—CONCOLOR, 70 to 80 ft. 
The Silver Fir of Colorado. The handsomest tall 
evergreen which grows here, and the most free from 
pests. The foliage is long, flat, curved, and not 
prickly like other evergreen foliage. The color 
ranges from silvery blue to clear green. Old trees 
have a regular conical outline and retain their 
branches to the ground. Concolors endure heat 
and drought splendidly but do not like being 
crowded and do not thrive in a smoky or sooty 
atmosphere. 
—Douglas, Pseudotsuga douglasi. The Colorado type 
also known as Douglas Spruce, 70 to 80 ft. 
Soft, flexible, beautiful green foliage. Vigorous and 
graceful, retaining its beauty in old age. No other 
kind but Bull Pine stands drought so well. 
HEMLOCK—Canadian, Tsuga canadensis, 30 to 40 ft.. 
Native of Northeastern U. S. A slow growing, 
graceful tree with short flat needles, bright green 
above and silvery striped beneath. It shears splen¬ 
didly. Some shade is preferred and it tolerates 
full shade, so is indispensible for many places 
where there is too much shade for other ever¬ 
greens. If fully exposed to the sun and dry winds 
Hemlocks are likely to be burned. In planting 
use plenty of peat. Many consider Hemlocks the 
most beautiful of all evergreens. 
JUNIPER—Chinensis, Chinese Juniper, 20 ft 
Resembles Red Cedar, Does not get red in winter. 
Not susceptible to Cedar-Apple fungus. 
—Pfitzer, 5 to 6 ft. 
A dwarf variety of the Chinese Juniper. The fol¬ 
iage is bluish-green and the branches grow out 
horizontally from the stem, which gives the tree 
an individuality of its own. Sizes apply to width 
rather than height. This is the best Juniper for 
foundation planting. 
—sargenti, Sargent Juniper, 1 ft. 
Makes a dense mat with both scale-like and point¬ 
ed leaves. Prefers much sun. 
—Communis, Common Juniper, 8 ft. or more 
Many upright branches with drooping ends. Silver 
striped green foliage, very sharp pointed. Requires 
good drainage. Remains green through winter.
