PINUS • Pine 
The Pines are characterized by long, thin needles 
in groups of two to five, and by the “candles” which 
appear for a few weeks in spring. Like the Spruce, 
they can be kept compact in growth by trimming 
back the ends of the branches to the first diverging 
branchlets.

foliage. The needles are short, stiff and thickly 
distributed. The long, silvery “candles” in spring

RETINOSPORA • Cypress 
A family of highly ornamental garden forms with 
a generous variety of texture, color of foliage, and 
shapes. They are greatly benefited by shearing in 
early June, to encourage dense and compact foliage 
and to keep in proper shape and stature. They grow 
best in moist but well-drained soil, but will be 
equally successful in other locations. 
Plumosa. Plume Cypress. 12 ft. Soft, feathery, 
light green foliage and very graceful. To keep it 
dense, compact, and colorful, it should be sheared 
early in June. This variety is partiularly fine for 
foundation plantings.

Permanence 
TAXUS • Yew 
No doubt the most popular evergreen in 
America. Its chief characteristics are its lon¬ 
gevity, slow growth and luxuriant dark green 
foliage the year round. The various garden varie¬ 
ties provide many different forms and shapes. 
They are absolutely hardy, easily trimmed, and 
well suited for hedges. Usually thrive best in 
moderately moist sandy loam and endure shade 
very well. An excellent plant for foundation 
planting. 
Cuspidata. Japanese Yew. A compact, spread¬ 
ing variety with attractive dark green foliage. 
Valuable for many locations and perfectly

THUJA - Arborvitae 
The wide variety of sizes and forms of Arbor¬ 
vitae facilitates and suggests their use as accents, 
hedges, screens, or outdoor tub plants, or for plant¬ 
ing in groups. The foliage is composed of a scale¬ 
like covering of fine branchlets and is characteristic 
in all the forms. The Arborvitae respond readily to 
any shearing which follows their natural form of 
growth and may be kept within bounds easily. 
Occidentalis. American Arborvitae. 20 ft. This 
variety stands trimming well and for this reason 
is widely used for hedge purposes. A pyramid,
