CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
The conifers offer a wide variety of size and form. They enliven bleak Win¬ 
ter landscapes with the warmth and color of their rich evergreen foliage; in 
Summer they seem to bring a sense of quiet and coolness to the garden. For 
formal or informal hedges, screens or windbreaks they are invaluable. 
Care must be used in the choice, location and spacing of evergreens, for many 
will eventually reach a height of fifty to one hundred feet, while others are 
dwarf or spreading in habit and suitable for use where space is limited. 
More plantings are spoiled through crowding than through planting too 
sparsely — so allow plenty of room for future groivth. 
Solid evergreen foundation plantings are seldom desirable. Ask for informa¬ 
tion as to other types of plant material suitable for use with evergreens in such 
plantings. We are glad to give expert advice to customers as to best varieties and 
proper treatment for each need and use.
