HARDY, ORNAMENTAL EVERGREENS 
“FOR YEAR AROUND BEAUTY” 
Evergreens present a broad opportunity for 
plant lovers to produce rich and beautiful 
effects that cannot be surpassed by any 
other class of plants. Evergreens are used as 
specimens on lawns, also extensively for 
massing, shelterbelts, screens, hedges, etc. 
Many varieties adapt themselves and are 
indispensable in your foundation planting. 
They form perfect backgrounds for the 
flowering shrubs of early spring, for the 
berries of autumn and winter’s tracery of 
bright bark and twigs. Beautiful beds of 
permanent color are formed by grouping 
together sorts of moderate growth with 
contrasting foliage. 
To be successful in planting evergreens, the 
planter should use great care to obtain stock 
that has been frequently transplanted while 
growing to insure a thick, fibrous root sys¬ 
tem. We are very careful to offer only such 
stock as will measure up to these very im¬ 
portant requirements, thereby saving our 
customers from disappointment. 
In the larger size Evergreens it is necessary, 
for the best results, to ball and burlap the 
roots. This consists of digging the trees with 
a solid ball of dirt and wrapping in burlap 
so that the roots are not disturbed. 
We keep a large assortment of evergreens in 
our sales yard, dug fresh every day, and

consequently, it is not necessary to go out 
into the fields to select your trees. 
ARBORVITAE 
AMERICAN (Thuja occidentalis)— Does well 
in a sunny location but will stand some shade. 
A moist location is preferred. 
GLOBE (Thuja occidentalis globosa)— A 
globe shaped Arborvitae which does not require 
pruning to retain its shape. Dwarf in habit. 
PYRAMIDAL (Thuja occidentalis pyramid¬ 
al is)— Undoubtedly the most popular form of 
Arborvitae today. This tree fills a real need in 
landscaping and has a place of importance in 
practically every evergreen planting. Thrives 
best in a south or east exposure.

CONCOLOR (Abies concolor)— An upright, 
symmetrical tree. Striking foliage varying from 
light green to deep soft blue. 
JUNIPER 
CANNART (Jun. virginiana cannarti)— A 
pyramidal tree with rich, green foliage. Used 
sometimes in place of Pyramidal Arborvitae be¬ 
cause of its hardiness.

of extremely robust nature.

Chandler’s Silver)— A compact grower with 
very silvery foliage.
