Plants For Every Purpose 
Japanese Yew. 
Red Cedar. 
Norway Spruce 
PINES (Pinus) 
Austrian (P. Austrica). Spreading habit with long, stiff, dark 
green needles. 
Scotch (P. Sylvestris). A quick growing evergreen, with blue- 
ish green needles. 
White (P. Strobus). The most graceful of all pines. 
Mugho (Pinus montana mughus). This is an excellent dwarf 
Pine, being globe shaped and erect branching. It is very 
attractive, especially in spring, when the new growth which 
seems like miniature candles completely covers the bush. 
Squarrosa Veitchi. Dense growth; soft beautiful silvery blue 
foliage, arranged in spirals which gives the impression of 
boiling over. Shows to best advantage close against dark 
greens. 
GRYPTOMERIA 
Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese Cedar). (Common Crypto- 
meria). A great favorite in Japan, attains a height of 100 
or more feet. Of graceful and rapid growth. Regular pyra¬ 
midal habit, the foliage somewhat resembles that of the 
Norfolk Island Pine.

SPRUCES (Picea) 
Retinospora or Japan Cypress 
Plumosa. An exceedingly handsome, acorn-shaped evergreen 
of medium tall growth, from Japan, with feathery, light 
green foliage. 
Plumosa Aurea. Like the preceding; of a golden yellow color, 
close and compact habit. 
Black Hill Spruce, canadensis albertiana. The Black Hills 
Spruce is hardiest of all the Spruces, symmetrical, compact 
and bushy of growth ; in fact the very smallest trees soon 
form round, sturdy, compact bodies. As the tree grows and 
develops, it continues to carry this particular style of 
growth. 
Colorado (Pungens). The origin of the famous Blue Spruce. 
A vigorous grower and hardv, making fine specimens in a 
broad based, shapely defined pyramid form; foliage rigidly angular with sharp 
needles very densely set. 
Colorado Blue (Pungens Glauca). A selected blue shade, from foregoing. This 
is one of the showiest and most impressive evergreens, surpassed only by the 
grafted Koster’s Blue Spruce. 
Norway Spruce, excelsa. For many years Norway Spruce has been highly ap¬ 
preciated because of its rapid growth, its thriftiness, and heavy masses of 
deep green foliage. Some of the finest old hedges are of Norway Spruce, as 
the trees can readily he pruned to any desired height. On farms and around 
homes all over the country. Norway Spruce windbreaks are giving substan¬ 
tial protection to stock and buildings. Norway Spruce is a tall, picturesque, 
and hardy tree, graceful in all its lines, and well adapted to planting over a 
wide range of territory. 
HEMLOCK 
Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis). Magnificent trees, extremely useful for ornamen¬ 
tal planting. As lawn specimens in full sunlight the lower branches sweep the 
ground. They tolerate partial shade. Shearing makes them dense and compact. 
YEW (Taxus) 
Cuspidata. The beautiful Japanese Yew of moderate bush growth, the upright¬ 
spreading branches densely clothed with short leaves of dull green; hardiest 
of all Yews in this country, and a refined evergreen.
