Evergreens, continued 
Evergreens are Easy to Plant 
Planting balled evergreens is like planting potted plants. 
Properly handled, they transplant as easily and successfully as 
shrubs. Unpack as soon as received. Protect the roots from sun 
and wind. A card giving planting suggestions will be attached 
to one of the trees. 
Pruning Evergreens 
If it is desired to make Arborvitaes, Junipers and Retinos- 
poras more compact, they may be “sheared.” However, after a 
plant has left the nursery shearing is hardly the correct term as 
the individual branches or tips should be cut out individually 
with a knife or clippers to keep the plant symmetrical, not shear¬ 
ed with grass shears as the term would imply. This work may 
be done almost any time with no ill effect except in hot dry 
weather.

These are transplanted, sturdy little trees, not balled and bur- 
lapped as they do not require it. Plant them firmly, water them 
well, give them time and they will make nice trees. B. U B. 
trees cannot be sent by parcel post.

Arborvitae; Thuja 
The Arborvitae is one of the most important groups ot ev¬ 
ergreens. The branchlets are flattened and clothed with small, 
usually scale-like leaves which look as if they have been press¬ 
ed tightly together. There are two main groups. The Ameri¬ 
can or occidentalis type has the branchlets in a more or less hor¬ 
izontal position. The Chinese or orientalis type has the branch- 
lets in a vertical or upright position. The name Arborvitae in¬ 
dicates “tree of life,” from the evergreen character. 
Arborvitae, Berckmans; Chinese Golden Dwarf; Thuja 
orientalis aurea nana

Evergreens add winter beauty to the planting 
Trailing Junipers, such as Andorra and Waukegan, are excellent 
on steep banks 
Juniper; Juniperus 
The Junipers vary greatly in size and shape from large trees 
to low creeping shrubs, and in color. The leaves are two kinds, 
one sharp pointed and awl-shaped, the other scale-like and over¬ 
lapping. Some varieties have only one kind of foliage, others 
both. The Red Cedar and its varieties belong to the Juniper 
family but are often called for as Cedar. 
Juniper, Andorra; Juniperus communis depressa plumosa 
One of the best dwarf, spreading Junipers, seldom raising its 
branches over 12 inches off the ground; in spring and summer 
a rich bright green, in autumn rich reddish-purple; excellent in 
the rockery and to the foreground of taller evergreens.

some trees bear blue or silver berries; if untrimmed the growth is 
more or less open but pleasing; by pruning may, if desired, be 
made dense and maintained at the height desired.
