Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa 
Specimen Evergreens 
—Little Gem, 2V 2 ft. 
The dwarfest variety. Dark green cushion form. 
—Pyramidal, 15 to 20 ft. 
Grows in columnar form without shearing. Bright¬ 
er and darker green than the common Arborvitae. 
Much used in entrance, foundation, and formal 
plantings. Best trained to one stem, no other train¬ 
ing is needed. Like other Arborvitae, sometimes 
sunburned if too severely exposed to the hot sun 
of late winter, and prefers cool, moist soil. 
—Rosenthal . 
A compact pyramid with lustrous dark green leaves 
—Siberian, 10 to 15 ft. 
One of the hardiest of all the Arborvitae, very com¬ 
pact, broadly conical in form and with dense, dark 
green foliage. With very little shearing can be 
made into perfect globes. Unsheared old plants 
have a billowy outline like Box. 
—Tom Thumb, Thuja ellwangeriana, 4 to 6 ft. 
Dwarf, dense, soft texture. Purple winter coloring. 
—Umbraculifera, Umbrella Arborvitae, 3 ft. 
A low bush with umbrella like top and dark green 
foliage. 
FIR—CONCOLOR, 70 to 80 ft. 
The Silver Fir of Colorado. The handsomest tall 
evergreen which grows here, and the most free 
from pests. The foliage is long, flat, curved, and 
not prickly like other evergreen foliage. The color 
ranges from silvery blue to clear green. Old trees 
have a regular conical outline and retain their 
branches to the ground. Concolors endure heat 
and drought splendidly but do not like being 
crowded and do not thrive in a smoky or sooty 
atmosphere.

—Douglas, Pseudotsuga douglasi. The Colorado type. 
Also known as Douglas Spruce, 70 to 80 ft. 
Soft, flexible, beautiful green foliage. Vigorous 
and graceful, retaining its beauty in old age. No 
other kind but Bull Pine stands drought so well. 
HEMLOCK—Canadian, Tsuga canadensis, 30 to 40 ft 
Native of Northeastern U. S. A slow growing, 
graceful tree with short flat needles, bright green 
above and silvery striped beneath. It shears splen¬ 
didly. Some shade is preferred and it tolerates 
full shade, so is indispensable for many places 
where there is too much shade for other ever¬ 
greens. If fully exposed to the sun and dry winds 
Hemlocks are likely to be burned. In planting 
use plenty of peat.
