Evergreens 
Abies • Fir 
Noble trees of majestic proportions are many of the Firs, 
and, on account of their rapid growth and hardiness, they 
may be classed among our most useful evergreens. Their 
habit of growth is pyramidal or conical, and their foliage 
ranges in color from light green to deep, somber, glaucous 
hues. They may be used in screens, backgrounds, or as 
specimens.

Chamaecyparis (Retinospora) • Cypress 
Cypress is a large family of evergreens which thrives 
in various soil-conditions. Their uses are numerous be¬ 
cause they vary in both color and size. Some grow into 
tall trees, while others are dwarf. Use this evergreen as a 
background for gardens, hedges, house foundations, and 
in rockeries. It must be used in the sunlight for best results.
