EVERGREENS 
B. F. Barr Nurseries 
"Will Grow” Evergreens are Noted for their 
other plants offer so much in value as Ever- 
* ^ greens giving as they do enjoyment twelve 
months the year ’round. Then, too, they can be 
used in so many interesting ways and make a last¬ 
ing improvement to any property. 
On the following pages there is a choice of Ever¬ 
greens for every purpose—for foundation planting, 
for single or massed plantings on the open lawn, for 
lining walks, or for hedges. 
How To Use Evergreens 
When considering Evergreens for a planting vis¬ 
ualize first what shape the plant should have for 
that particular location, keeping in mind, too, the 
ultimate height. Following the botanical name of 
each variety listed on the following pages we show 
its ultimate height for your guidance in selection. 
The smaller members of the pyramidal group such 
as Redcedars, American Arborvitae, etc., are used 
as accents at the corners of the house, beside the 
doorway, at the corners of a formal garden, and 
similar places. The round or globe-shaped plants 
such as Globe Arborvitae, Mugho Pine, etc., find 
best use in the formal garden and at each side of 
steps, but never in groups. The spreading types, 
like Pfitzer Juniper, Spreading Yew, etc. are valued 
for foundation planting and general use. These 
types group together well, harmonize with decid¬ 
uous shrubs, and soften the severe lines of the more 
pyramidal forms. The creeping types like Sargent 
Juniper, Spreading Juniper, etc. may be used in the 
rock garden, for covering small slopes and in the 
foreground of foundation plantings. 
Don’t Crowd Large-Growing Types 
An error to be avoided in the use of Evergreens is 
to put large-growing types like Spruces, Pines, and 
Firs in front of porches. In a short time they 
will become crowded and grow out of bounds, re¬ 
quiring replacement which multiplies the cost of the 
planting unjustifiably. 
B. & B. INCLUDED IN PRICES 
All prices on Evergreens include digging with 
a ball of earth, (B.&B.). Packing is also in¬ 
cluded on plants up to 4 ft. in size, but for larger 
Evergreens to be packed for shipment add 25c 
per ft. of height to cover cost of packing ma¬ 
terials and labor.
