Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa 
Specimen Evergreens 
—Geo. Peabody’s Golden. 12-15 ft. 
A clear golden yellow on the tips; needs shearing 
to make it compact. Best golden variety. 
—Globes. 4-5 ft. 
Naturally assume a globular form without shear¬ 
ing. Fine in formal plantings. 
—Pyramidal. 15-20 ft.. 
Grows in columnar form without shearing. Bright¬ 
er and darker green than the common Arborvitae. 
Much used in entrance, foundation, and formal 
plantings. Best trained to one stem, no other 
training is needed. Like other Arborvitae, some¬ 
times sunburned if too severely exposed to the 
hot sun of late winter, and prefers cool, moist soil. 
—Siberian. 10-15 ft. . 
One of the hardiest of all the Arborvitae, very com¬ 
pact, broadly conical in form with dense, dark green 
foliage. With very little shearing can be made into 
perfect globes. Unsheared old plants have a billowy 
outline like Boxwood.

—Tom Thumb, Thu^a ellwangeriana. 4-6 ft. 
Dwarf, dense, soft texture, purple winter coloring. 
—Umbraculifera, Umbrella Arborvitae. 3 ft. 
A low bush with umbrella-like top and dark green 
foliage. 
FIR—Concolor. 70-80 ft. 
The Silver Fir of Colorado. The handsomest tall 
evergreen which grows here, and the most free from 
pests. The foliage is long, flat, curved, and not 
prickly like other evergreen foliage. The color 
ranges from silvery blue to clear green. Old trees 
have a regular conical outline and retain their 
branches to the ground. Concolors endure heat and 
drought splendidly but do not like being crowded 
and do not thrive in a smoky or sooty atmosphere.

—Douglas, Pseudotsuga douglasi. The Colorado type. 
Also known as Douglas Spruce. 70-80 ft. 
Soft, flexible, beautiful green foliage. Vigorous and 
graceful, retaining its beauty in old age. Tolerates 
more shade than most trees. 
HEMLOCK—Canadian, Tsuga canadensis. 30-40 ft. 
Native of Northeastern U. S. A slow growing, 
graceful tree with short flat needles, bright green 
above and silvery striped beneath. It shears splen¬ 
didly. Some shade is preferred and it tolerates full 
shade, so is indispensable for many places where 
there is too much shade for other evergreens. If 
fully exposed to the sun and dry winds Hemlocks 
are likely to be burned. In planting use plenty of 
peat.
