Thoroughly Reliable 
As the name indicates this Ever¬ 
green is a native of Europe and Asia. 
In some states, notably Iowa, it is the 
most widely planted Evergreen to¬ 
day, and because of its hardiness and 
rapidity of growth has proved of 
much value in giving quick protec¬ 
tion, which was so much needed about '' 
homes and farms in treeless regions. 
This variety is rather attractive in ^ 
form and possesses a splendid root 
system. In the hands of the ama- , 
teur it is perhaps the easiest of all 
Evergreens to transplant, and the 
rapid growth it makes from the very 
start gives it a combination of desir¬ 
able qualities for the planter. This 
variety grows well on almost any 
soils and is not affected by drying- 
winds or hot sun.
