For Stately Beauty 
in planting evergreens, the planter should use great care to obtain stock 
that has been frequently transplanted while growing to insure a thick, 
fibrous root system. We are very careful to offer only such stock as will 
measure up to these very important requirements, thereby saving our 
customers from disappointment. ... In the larger size Evergreens it is 
necessary, for the best results, to ball and burlap the roots. This con¬ 
sists of digging the trees with a solid ball of dirt and wrapping in burlap 
so that the roots are not disturbed. . . . We keep a large assortment of 
evergreens in our sales yard, dug fresh every day, and consequently, it 
is not necessary to go out into the fields to select your trees. 
Balsam 
JUNIPER—Continued 
RED CEDAR (Jun. virginiana)—This tree is 
valuable for group plantings as well as for speci¬ 
men trees. As winter comes on, the tips of the 
new foliage present a brownish appearance and 
make a very beautiful picture. 
SAVIN (Jun. Sabina)—A beautiful dwarf 
spreading Cedar. Dark green foliage. One of the 
best dwarf evergreens for foundation and group 
plantings. 
SILVER (Jun. Scopulorum)—Similar to Red 
Cedar except that it is a beautiful silvery color. 
WELCH I (Jun. scopolorum welchi)—Foliage 
is very fine and green in color. A pyramidal tree, 
retaining its slender habit without pruning. This 
is one of the new varieties of grafted Scopolorum 
and is without a doubt the best of the green 
types. Retrains its color throughout the year. 
NORWAY (Pi cea excelsa)—The fastest grow¬ 
ing variety of Spruce. 
WHITE (Picea canadensis)—Somewhat simi¬ 
lar to Black Hills Spruce but growth is faster and 
more open. 
YEW 
UPRIGHT (Taxus cuspidata)—The only ever¬ 
greens that we can safely recommend for com¬ 
plete shade. They thrive in complete or partial 
shade. 
DWARF (Taxus cuspidata nana)—A variety 
of types is available. Yews have a rich, deep green 
foliage not available in any other variety. The 
Yews can be used in more varying conditions than 
any other class of evergreens that we offer. In 
addition to being able to withstand a great deal 
of shade. They thrive in open exposed conditions. 
We offer only a limited supply of these.

AUSTRIAN (P. ni gra)—A very symmetrical 
upright growing Pine. One of our best Pines for 
specimen or group plantings.

dense, spreading growth, with very dark green 
foliage. Very hardy. Ideal as dwarf specimen 
plants.

grower and will stand a great deal of wind and 
drought. A very good windbreak tree.
