SELECTED ORNAMENTALS TO BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME AT MODERATE COST 
Graceful, 
Easy-to-Grow Evergreens 
American Arbor-Vitae 
An evergreen of erect, broadly pyramidal habit, with soft bright green foliage, dense 
from ground up. Grows rapidly, and soon forms a most beautiful tree for any purpose. 
Is very hardy and dependable in any situation, although a moist location is preferred. Like 
other types of Arbor-Vitae, the American can be trimmed at will, or even closely sheared 
when sufficiently developed at present formal lines. Balled and burlapped, 2 to 3 ft. trees, 
twice transplanted, $1.00 each; 2 or more, 75c each. 
Globe Arbor-Vitae 
Delightful Formality'—Charming in the Border 
It is hard to find a more handsome evergreen than our Globe Arbor-Vitae. In shape 
it is absolutely round or globular, very dense in growth, and does not require shearing. 
The foliage is a deep, dark green, flat and beautifully carved like all of the Arbor-Vitaes. 
Seldom does it get over 3 Vi to 4 feet at maturity, hence its general use in low borders 
and foreground work. Our Globes are beautiful specimens that give charming effects in 
landscape planting. Balled and burlapped, 12x12 in. spread, twice transplanted, $1.00 each; 
2 or more, 75c each. 
Pfitzer's Juniper 
(Juniperus Chinensis Pfitzeriana) 
This remarkable tree is today in the front rank of ornamental evergreens. Its great 
popularity is due to its ability to thrive in all parts of the country and under .almost any 
conditions of soil or exposure. An important tree in the far South and also a perfect grower 
in extremely cold sections. One of tne few evergreens that will stand considerable shade. 
Color is deep green, with a grayish cast. Strong, vigorous type 
of foliage. Should be in every evergreen planting. Balled and 
burlapped, 18 to 24 in. trees, twice transplanted, $1.25 each; 
2 or more, $1.00 each. 
Irish Juniper 
(Juniperus Communis Hibernica) 
An erect and slender evergreen, formal and columnar in form. 
The foliage is deep green and very compact. When matured, 
this tree reaches a height of six to seven feet, but it is never over one and one-half feet in diameter. 
Much used in cemetery plantings, as well as in landscaping the home grounds. Balled and burlapped, 
18 to 24 in., twice transplanted, $1.00 each; 2 or more, 75c each. 
Norway Spruce 
(Picea Excelsa) 
A lofty, noble tree of open pyramidal habit, exceedingly picturesque. Very popular in evergreen 
groups and as single specimens. Also one of the best evergreens for hedges and much used for wind¬ 
breaks. Norway Spruce is one of the kinds most commonly used for Christmas trees. Balled and bur¬ 
lapped, 2 to 3 ft., twice transplanted, $1.00 each; 2 or more, 75c each. 
Black Hills Spruce 
(Picea Canadensis Albertiana) 
The hardiest of all Spruces—symmetrical, compact and bushy in h'abit of 
growth. The foliage, of a bright, fresh color, varies from green to bluish 
tint. Being rather spreading in habit, it is used mainly for individual speci¬ 
mens, for background borders, and in places away from buildings. However, 
it is a slow grower, so can remain in close quarters for several years, and 
is often seen in foundation plantings. Balled and burlapped, 2 to 3 ft., 
twice transplanted, $1.25 each; 2 or more, $1.00 each. 
Colorado Blue Spruce 
This wonderful ornamental tree combines a shining 
blue luster, perfection in form and symmetry, and hardy 
characteristics that make it adaptable to nearly all cli¬ 
mates. Effective either as a specimen or in groups.

$2.25 each; 3 for $6.25.

which literally cover the plant in summer and 
autumn. 30c each; 4 for $1.00. 
BARBERRY, Red Leaf. The new shoots 
of the plants that are planted in the sun are

any other shrub. The habit of growth and

garden. Price, 25c each; 5 for $1.00.

ored flowers in June and July, followed by large clus¬ 
tered milk-white fruits which remain far into winter.

and June and in autumn. Price,
