greens 
Evergreens are as necessary in the planting of the home-grounds as a good 
lawn. The restful green of their lovely foliage brings peace and satisfaction to 
overwrought minds. The large trees not only furnish delightful shade during 
the hot days of summer, but their very appearance is cool and refreshing. One 
learns to love the touch of the soft, silky needles of many varieties and to inhale 
their fragrance, which is always soothing. There are so many desirable things 
among the Conifers that one could have beautiful grounds by using only Ever¬ 
greens and grass. There are tiny, sprawling plants suitable for the rockery or a 
ground-cover, other slow-growing dwarf ones that will hardly equal a man’s 
height during his lifetime, lovely shrubby types, and some of the most graceful 
of all trees, and the great Sequoia sempervirens, which, if allowed enough cen¬ 
turies to grow, will eventually rear its head so far in the clouds that we have to 
lean far back to see it. 
There are strange plants among this family, too, for those who like “differ¬ 
ent” things: Evergreens with golden foliage, some with purplish tints, and, of 
course, the famous Blue Spruce, so highly prized by many.

pruned, and dug with a generous ball of soil.

Junipers 
The Junipers are a large family with plants 
of so many types that one can have a mag¬ 
nificent specimen or a slow-growing, dainty 
thing suitable for the rock-garden. 
They will do fairly well in almost any kind 
of soil, but prefer one rather sandy and loamy 
with moderate moisture. They are very hardy.
