Northern Grown Evergreens 
Our Evergreens are all carefully grown, and have been 
given the best of care under the supervision of specialists who 
understand growing Evergreens in such a manner as to insure 
their being transplanted successfully to new homes with or¬ 
dinary care. Do not compare our select mailing size Ever¬ 
greens with the inferior seedlings that are being offered by a 
few advertisers at ridiculously low prices, and which will die 
after you get them. Not only are our Evergreens grown right, 
but we take great care in digging and packing, and we deliver 
them to all parts of the United States in good growing condi¬ 
tion. Mailing size plants are sent postpaid at the prices 
given; larger sizes have to be sent by express or freight. 
PLANTING SEASON for spring, April 1st to May 20th; 
for fall, August 15th to October 15th, depending on season and locality. 
Evergreens can not be safely carried through the winter in storage like 
other trees, so can not be shipped until the frost is out of the ground in 
the spring. Some Southern planters have the mistaken idea that they 
should set out Evergreens earlier than the Northern planting season. 
Regardless of your climate. Evergreens should, for best results, be set out 
at the time the plants are in the proper transplanting condition. The 
proper transplanting condition depends on the climate where the trees are Juniper Pfitzeriana 
grown, not where they are to be planted. Our hardy, Northern grown (60c each; 3 for $1.65) 
Evergreens are the best for planting in either the North or South. Send 
your order early. We will ship at the proper time for planting our Northern grown Evergreens in your locality. 
Figures following variety names indicate approximately the height of the tree when approaching maturity, which requires 50 to 60 
years. Grouping close together will have a tendency to keep them from growing large. The tall growing varieties can also be kept 
smaller by trimming. 
Drought Resisting Junipers 
During tke past few summers the entire United States has suffered from heat and drought. Evergreens by 
the thousands have either died completely or have had the foliage so badly burned that the trees are ruined 
for ornamental purposes. Throughout the country it has been found that when all other varieties have been 
killed or damaged the Junipers have come through unharmed. Junipers are unexcelled as a class for ornamen¬ 
tal planting; they are the easiest of Evergreens to transplant, and during the past summer have more than ever 
proven their worth. We offer here a good assortment of various types and recommend all of them. 
JUNIPER CANNARTI. An improved type of Virginiana with high, deep green foliage 
that retains its color throughout the year. More uniform in shape and habit than its parent 
and highly recommended. 12 to 18 inch, grafted plants, $1.25 each, postpaid. 
IRISH. Foliage bluish-green. Very dense and upright habit to 8 feet. Fine for columnar 
effect m landscape work. 2 to 2 y 2 feet, $1.25; 1 y 2 to 2 feet, 90c, not prepaid. Mailing size, 
2-year-old transplanted stock, 35c each; 3 for 90c, postpaid. 
MOONLIGHT. A hybrid of the hardy Colorado Juniper (Scopu- 
lorum), combining the Rocky Mountain ruggedness of its parent with 
the skill of the hybridizer, giving us one of the most beautiful of Ever¬ 
greens. Tall, pyramidal habit, 12 to 15 feet at maturity. Unlike many 
of our taller varieties, it does not outgrow its location. The foliage is 
glistening silver blue. 12 to 15 inch, grafted plants, $1.25 each, post¬ 
paid. 
PFITZERIANA. Vase-shaped, spreading growth to 8 feet across.

exposure of the sun. Excellent for foundation plantings. 2 to 2 y 2 feet

PLUMY JUNIPER (communis depressa plumosa). A compara¬ 
tively new variety of unusual merit. Having originated in Maine, it is 
perfectly hardy throughout the North. It grows to a height of about 
15 to 18 inches, but sometimes not over 6 or 8 inches. The branches 
stay very close to the ground making it ideal for planting in the fore¬ 
ground of taller varieties. The plumy, feathery foliage is grayish-green, 
turning purple in winter. Two-year-old, transplanted stock, 35c each; 
3 for 90c, postpaid.

beauty. The foliage is shiny, bright blue, and appears of different colors 
when, viewed from various angles. There are distinct tones of green, 
white and pinkish-red, making it the most striking in color of all ever¬ 
greens. It has a spreading habit, and makes an ideal planting for the 
rockery or around a pool. It is hardy and does well in all parts of 
the country. Never fails to attract attention. iy 2 to 2 feet spread,

giniana adding a very desirable color contrast to your evergreen plant¬ 
ing. Grows to 15 or 20 feet in height if left unmolested, but as it lends 
itself readily to trimming, it can be kept at any desired height. 12 to 
18 inch grafted plants, $1.00 each, postpaid.
