Conifers or Evergreen Resinous Trees 
One of the greatest classes of vegetation for outdoor ornamentation. From the 
loftiest trees, three hundred or more feet in height, to low prostrate shrubs rising barely 
a foot above the ground. _ These we consider as the most useful and most ornamental of 
our hardy trees, and which should be in every garden, either small or large. They can 
be used as isolated specimens for groups, hedges, windbreaks or shelters.
