Evergreens 
VERGREENS are most valuable in this section of the country 
for their winter color. Without the plume-like foliage of the 
Pine and the pointed crowns of Spruce and Fir the winter land¬ 
scape would lose a great deal of its characteristic beauty and 
charm. After each snowfall the evergreens laden with tufts and bunches 
of snow transform even the humblest garden to a winter wonderland. 
The birds gather in among the protecting boughs of Hemlock and Cedar 
in cold weather and lend an animated touch to the garden. 
Evergreens are also of prime importance for screening purposes 
and wind breaks. A row of Pines or informal groups of Hemlocks provide 
an ideal background for the Azalea and Rhododendron border or the flower 
garden. Evergreens massed to the northwest of an exposed house will 
tone down the prevailing cold winter gales and help reduce the fuel bills. 
There are evergreens suitable for every type of location. Some 
grow slowly and remain quite small and compact. Others grow rapidly 
and need plenty of elbow room to properly display their beauty. If you 
need a screen planting or wish to liven up your home landscape during 
the winter months you will profit from a trip through the Nursery. 
There you will find evergreens for every purpose. 
In planting the evergreen screen or windbreak, it is usually ad¬ 
visable not to use too many varieties. A collection of various evergreens
