EVERGREENS AND OTHER 
ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
The list of Ornamental Evergreens we offer is quite complete; varieties 
for every section in the South, Southwest and Gulf Coast sections. The 
piants we list are young stock, full of life and vigor. They are shipped 
balled in damp sphagnum moss. Plant carefully day received. Remove 
moss before planting. Water well. Stake to keep wind from blowing 
plants around. You will get a lot of pleasure and satisfaction watching 
these young plants grow and develop into lovely specimens. The five 
best plants for general beautification of home, we think, are as follows- 
Bakers Arborvitae, Pfitzers Juniper, Yellow Jasmine, Abelia, Waxleaf 
Liigustrum. These should be planted around the house as foundation 
planting. Arizona Cypress is the best all around evergreen to plant on 
the lawn as specimen, or for background.
