Evergreens . . 
E VERGREENS are the aristocrats of the plant world. 
They give dignity and charm to the home 
grounds. 
In summer and winter alike Evergreens will bring 
the freshness and beauty of the woods right into the 
yard about your home. 
Some years ago Evergreens were used only spar¬ 
ingly but today— 
Modern Gardening Favors Evergreens 
The striking attractiveness that is so evident in 
the surroundings of the newly-landscaped homes is 
largely the result of the generous use of evergreens 
in the planting. The present moderate cost and the 
compelling beauty of the evergreens gives them this 
deserving popularity. 
The New Evergreen Varieties 
Fortunate we are indeed to have available many 
new evergreen varieties that were unknown in the 
past. By a wise selection and arrangement of these 
modem evergreen forms, a fresh interest and beauty 
can be given to older plantings and an unusual at¬ 
tractiveness to new ones. 
We Help You Make Selections 
Whether your yard plantings are now established 
or still to be placed you have equal opportunity to 
use evergreens to heighten the attractiveness of your 
home. We will be happy to help you make suitable

Evergreens for the House Foundation 
Planting 
The dwarf-type evergreens with compact growth 
and refined foliage are particularly suited for plant¬ 
ing about the building. For this purpose use such 
varieties as the Pfitzer, Savin and Bar Harbor Juni¬ 
pers, Mugho Pines, and Dwarf Yews. 
At house comers and by the doorway where taller 
evergreens are desired the Scopulorum Juniper, Red 
Cedar and American and Pyramidal Arborvitaes are 
adapted. 
Evergreens for the Lawn 
For lot boundary and screen plantings and for 
lawn groups and specimens the taller-growing and 
spreading evergreens are needed. The Pines, the 
Spruces and untrimmed Red Cedars and American 
Arborvitaes are suitable to this use. 
The rich coloi of stately Colorado Spruce makes a gorgeous background and shelter for this secluded 
garden spot. Grounds of Mr. Clyde Williams, Minneapolis.
