Planting 
Cole's Evergreens give a feeling of richness to the home landscape, 
especially during the winter months when the ground is covered with 
snow and when other shrubs and trees have lost their foliage. In plant¬ 
ing Cole's Evergreens every specimen counts very distinctly, as they are 
so very definite in the r habit, color and texture. That is why, in ob¬ 
taining your evergreens at Cole's you may be sure of securing plants 
that have been selected, and grown with great care, and you are also 
sure of obtaining evergreens that have been freshly dug. 
Cole is constantly root-pruning, transplanting, shearing, and spraying 
a large acreage of evergreens, so you may be assured of pleas ; ng success 
in planting Cole's Evergreens. 
Cole's Evergreens, os well as other plants, can be supplied any size 
desired in large, full specimens where certain effects and more imme¬ 
diate results are wanted.

evergreens, vary in form and color from trailing species to upright 
pyramidal trees, and from silver-gray to deep green foliage. They are 
difficult to describe as a group but all do have a characteristic, rather 
fine, prickly foliage. Junipers are easily trimmed and kept within 
bounds by shearing, or by cutting back the branches of the long, 
horizontal branched varieties. 
Chinensis cotumnaris glauca (Columnar Juniper). 15 ft. A slender 
tapering spire with gray-green foliage. Rapid growing and undoubt¬
