compact and distinct conical form. Red 
Cedar often grows naturally in gravelly 
hillsides and is excellent for planting in 
poor sandy soils.

readily trimmed and maintained at any 
size desired. Some trees bear blue and 
silver berries in the fall, greatly enjoyed by 
birds.

you variation to the blue and green colors 
of other evergreens. It is rather broad and 
bushy, with slightly drooping foliage. The 
new growth in the spring is creamy golden 
color, gradually darkening to old-gold as 
the season progresses. Most attractive 
when used in combination with other

PICEA • Spruce 
The Spruces are characterized by short, 
stiff needles, sometimes slightly curving. All 
are of a more or less horizontal branching 
habit and may be kept compact in growth by 
trimming back the ends of the branches to 
the first two diverging branchlets. Cole’s 
extra-fine specimens may be planted as orna¬ 
ments on the lawn, singly or in groups, or in 
formal entrance plantings. Spruces are also 
extensively used for windbreaks. 
Canadensis albertiana. Black Hills Spruce. 
A decorative species of dense habit when 
young and with light bluish green foliage. 
Native to the coldest parts of the United 
States, we can recommend it as being one 
of the hardiest trees grown.

Excelsa pygmaea. Pygmy Norway Spruce. 
This is the smallest and most dense-grow¬

growing, it makes a fairly compact conical 
little bush with very short branches. To 
give some idea as to how slowly it grows, 
there is at the Kew Gardens in England, a 
specimen of 3 to 3K feet that is known to 
have been in cultivation for at least 140 
years.

the choicest tree we grow. 
Montana Mughus. Dwarf Mountain Pine. 
3 ft. A dwarf, spreading Pine with heavy 
dark green foliage. The needles are short, 
stiff and thickly distributed. The long, 
silvery “candles” in spring give it the ap¬

foreground, foundation, rock-garden or

PINUS . Pine 
The Pines are characterized by long, thin 
needles in groups of two to five, and by the 
“candles” which appear for a fet^ weeks in 
spring. Like the Spruce, they can be kept 
compact in growth by trimming back the 
ends of the branches to the first diverging 
branchlets. 
Montana. Swiss Mountain Pine. 10 ft.

Rnown botanically as Chamaecyparis, but 
inasmuch as they are not very well known 
under that name, we will continue to list 
them as Retinospora. A family of highly 
ornamental garden forms with a generous 
variety of texture, color of foliage, and shapes. 
They are greatly benefited by shearing in 
early June, to encourage dense and compact 
foliage and to keep in proper shape and 
stature. They grow best in moist but well- 
drained soil, but will be equally successful in 
other locations. 
Filifera. Thread Cypress. 10 ft. A most 
ornamental tree with deep green, string¬ 
like, drooping foliage which it retains at 
all seasons of the year. Best of all, it 
thrives in more or less shady places and is 
extremely effective in foundation plantings.

Filifera aurea. Golden Thread Cypress. 5 ft. 
The best of all the golden Cypresses. It is 
very similar to the Thread Cypress in 
style of plant, but is slower in growth and 
keeps its rounded, compact form for many 
years. The foliage is bright golden yellow, 
making a beautiful contrast when used 
with other evergreens.

growing, and perfectly hardy.
