{JEardy Evergreens, {Beautiful Winter and Summer 
Irish Juniper 
For producing an immediate, finished effect and an air of 
permanence and stability, nothing will take the place of Ever¬ 
greens. They blend delightfully with the gay summer flowers, 
and when the wind-swept winter garden is brown and bare, 
their foliage masses afford a sense of coziness and cheer. The 
taller growing varieties are excellent for screens and shelter from 
winter’s winds and provide an ideal background for the showy 
flowering trees and shrubs of spring, the berries of autumn and 
the colored twigs of winter. Beautiful effects are secured by 
planting in masses varieties that contrast finely in form, foliage 
and color, such as light and dark green, silver and gold. For 
entrance and foundation planting the lower growing varieties 
are excellent and provide year around beauty. 
Our evergreens, grown with plenty of room, are compact, well 
filled trees of their size and variety. They have been transplant¬ 
ed and root pruned and are well rooted. They are liberally 
graded and, except mail sizes, will be dug with a ball of earth 
wrapped in burlap, termed “balled and burlapped” or B. U B. 
They are not grown rapidly and soft but are firm and easily 
transplanted. 
Evergreens are excellent for foundation 
plantings, the taller varieties at the 
back, the lower to the front
