Other Desirable Evergreens 
When it_ comes to planting about a home, some wonderfully fine effects can 
be made with the two or three dozen different evergreens. In smaller yards and 
lawns, as well as in larger ones, there are opportunities for lining paths and mak¬ 
ing borders and beds of evergreens. No other kind of planting is more attrac¬ 
tive to you who live in the home than a lot of little evergreens in a row or a 
clump. A conifer bed 10 by 30 feet is a wonderfully attractive thing. For the 
best effect, less of the brilliant yellow foliage is required than of the dark green, 
so it is a good plan to put a border of the common kinds around the bed, then 
set the unusual-colored trees in the center. All the year round such a bed will 
attract attention. Borders of little evergreens are fine along walks or drives. 
Select those trees that never get large, such as some of the Junipers, Arborvitaes, 
etc. If you have an ugly bank, a pile of rocks, or a swamp, cover it with dwarf 
or trailing Junipers or Arborvitaes. The golden-foliaged Arborvitaes, Junipers, 
and Retinisporas, all are small trees, finest during their first ten or twenty years. 
The proper kinds to select must be left to your judgment. _
