An appropriate planting of Evergreens. Your collection will not be complete 
unless you have a few Koster’s and Colorado Blue Spruces on your grounds 
EVERGREEN TREES 
Every lawn’s appearance can be greatly enhanced by Evergreens. Their 
beautiful colors, remaining solid throughout the year, are much appreciated 
in winter when the deciduous trees have succumbed to the frosts and have 
lost their beauty until spring comes again. 
Even though the home grounds seem well planted with shrubs, maples, elms, 
birches, and other trees of grace and beauty, there is always a place for the 
Evergreens—the dwarf Juniper, the Yews, and other low-growing kinds, as well 
as the massive sorts, like the Pines and Spruces. 
There are several ways to make effective plantings of Evergreens. A very 
good scheme is to mass them in groups of from three to eight, if they are of 
the small-growing varieties, and of two to six, if they are liable to reach any 
considerable height. The planting shown above is in the mass style. Another 
plan much in vogue on small lawns or where there is room for but a few trees, 
is to plant them singly as individual specimens. Plantings made after this 
style give the grounds an appearance of being larger and, if your grounds are 
small, we feel that the latter plan will prove the most satisfactory. 
Evergreen trees are widely used as screens and windbreaks, and a double 
row of them planted on the windward side of your home will break the force 
of the winter winds and make the house warmer. Evergreens are much used 
in hedges and information about their use as such is given on pages 26 and 27. 
Don’t fail to include a few Evergreens when you send your order.
