5 ^tlendLu for home 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 
planting Cole’s Evergreens, every specimen counts very distinctly, as 
they are so very definite in their habit, color and texture. That is 
why, in obtaining your Evergreens at Cole’s, you may be sure of secur¬ 
ing 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 spray¬ 
ing a large acreage of Evergreens, so you may be assured of pleasing 
success in planting Cole’s Evergreens. 
Cole’s Evergreens, as well as other plants, can be supplied any size 
desired in large, full specimens where certain effects and more im¬ 
mediate results are wanted.

JUNIPERUS • Juniper 
The Junipers, which comprise probably the 
largest group of cultivated evergreens, vary 
in form and color from trailing species to up¬ 
right pyramidal trees, and from silver-gray 
to deep green foliage. They are difficult to 
describe as a group but all do have a charac¬ 
teristic, 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.

garden. One of the hardiest and best ever¬ 
greens. See color illustration, page 29.
