INDIVIDUALLY GROWN EVERGREENS 
P ROBABLY there is more disappointment among home owners due to an unwise purchase of Evergreens whose 
only recommendation is a cheap price, than any other class of plants. How often one sees top-heavy, over¬ 
grown, ill-shaped Evergreens growing around a nice home. The luckless home owner will be compelled to remove 
these fast growing cheap Evergreens after a few years to prevent their developing into trees 50 or 60 ft. high. 
Then too, equally unsatisfactory are the unsightly bare patches at the bottom of such Evergreens where the home 
owner expected he would have fine, heavy, bushy compact and shapely growth right from the ground up, such as 
Superior Quality Evergreens such as we offer, would have given. Avoid cheap Evergreens if you would avoid 
disappointment. Remember, good Evergreens can never be produced cheap. 
Every Evergreen we offer is a strictly “individual grown” plant. By “individual grown” we mean that every 
Evergreen has been given proper distance apart in the nursery row to insure a compact, heavy, well shaped top. 
Every Evergreen has been transplanted one, two or perhaps three times or more, depending on its age, size and 
habit of growth. Also it has been adequately root pruned and top sheared, thus assuring a heavy, fibrous root 
system and a specimen shaped top. 
Arbor-Vitae 
American or White Cedar. The best known and 
most popular of all the Evergreens. A narrow, taper¬ 
ing or pyramidal tree, growing from 15 to 25 feet, but 
may be sheared to any height or form. 
Golden (Thuya occidentalis aurea). A broad bushy 
form of the American Arbor-Vitae, with golden foli¬ 
age. 
Tom Thumb. A dwarf variety of American Arbor- 
Vitae, resembling it in shape, but growing only to 
three or four feet. Very compact. Has the typical 
Arbor-Vitae foliage, mixed with a feathery foliage 
that resembles that of the Silvery Cypress. 
Siberian. In growth hke the American. Grows 10 to 
20 feet tall. Has heavy, blue-green foliage, holding 
its color well through the winter. 
Cedar, Red. See Juniperus virginiana. 
Fir, Concolor (Abies concolor). A native of the Rocky 
Mountains and very hardy, growing rapidly and 
withstanding heat and drought. The foliage is of 
varying shades of dark green and blue and it is one 
of the showiest and most graceful of all the Firs. 
Globosa. A dwarf form, growing 2 to 4 feet high, with 
compact, round or globular head. May be used in 
pairs, one on each side of porch entrance. 
Pyramidal. Similar to American Arbor-Vitae, grows 
15 to 20 feet, but is much narrower, more column¬ 
like. 
Hemlock. IVIugho Pine, and Pfitzer 
Juniper, make up this beautiful 
group.
