Coniferous Evergreens 
Conifers have their place in your home planting and are attractive the year through. During 
the winter months, when many trees are dormant and without leaves, the Conifers will stand out 
in all their splendor, with their various hues of yellow, green, dark green and blue-green. They 
make a background for other shrubs that is unsurpassed. Many of them make wonderful specimen 
plants for such places as the corners of your home, entrances to drives, large urns, and many other 
places suitable for specimen plants. 
With very little care you can keep your Conifers beautiful for many years and most of them 
will stand pruning to hold them at a desired height. To keep your Conifers at their best they should 
be fertilized annually, applying the fertilizer in March or just before the new growth begins. Well- 
rotted manure is the best fertilizer to use. Keep the soil around them loosened and worked up at 
^east 6 inches from the outside of the branches.

B. orientalis aurea nana. Dwarf Golden Ar- 
borvitse. Possibly the most popular Thuja for 
general use in the South and North. The 
golden yellow of the foliage makes a most 
pleasing contrast to the green of other ever¬ 
greens. Specimens seem to be at their best 
when planted in well-drained soil and due to its 
extreme hardiness can be used in most any 
location. The dwarf, compact habit of this 
plant makes it suitable for small gardens, 
cemeteries and urns. Each 10
