Native Hmerican Evergreens. 
T HE following five Evergreens have become famous not only in our own country, but 
abroad, for their exquisite beauty. These Evergreens are perfectly suitable for planting 
throughout the east, doing much better than most of the European evergreens which 
have been so freely used in the past, and are likely to largely supercede them in the near 
future for general planting. They will thrive in almost any location where the ground is 
well drained and will stand the most severe exposure. 
Colorado Blue Spru CC—Picea Pungens. 
Perhaps the most popular evergreen now planted in the east and the demand, especially

trees, all several times transplanted and manv of them of very fine color. For prices see

Douglas Spruce —Pseudotsuga Dougiasii. 
A graceful evergreen partaking somewhat of the character of our native hemlock in this 
espect. It is a most rapid grower, far exceeding the Norway Spruce. Where it is native 
torms immense forests and is an important timber tree. It succeeds splendidly m the 
as ern states and bids fair to supercede the Norway Spruce where quick effects are desired, 
l m, s general appearance is much more effective owing to its softer and more graceful
