14 THE SARCOXIE NURSERIES PEONY FIELDS 

“Hardy Evergreens, “Beautiful “Winter and Summer 


Ze 
Evergreens add winter beauty to the planting 
It’s easy to have beautiful grounds in spring and summer, 
when we have such an abundance of flowers. For all-year beauty 
we must have evergreens. After the leaves have fallen and winter 
has a firm grip is when we most appreciate their value for add- 
ing life and character to the landscape. They lend a dignity, 
richness and beauty obtainable in no other way. Their variety 
of form and foliage makes them a joy throughout the year. 
With many trees and shrubs we must wait several years for a 
finished effect. Not so with evergreens. They at once add charm 
and a sense of coziness and cheer to our home. 
Evergreens are Easy to Plant 
Our evergreens are not grown rapidly and soft, but are firm 
and well developed. Grown with plenty of room, they are 
compact, well filled trees of their size and variety. They have 
been transplanted and root pruned and are well rooted. They 
are liberally graded and, execpt mail sizes, are dug with a ball 
of earth wrapped in burlap, termed ‘‘balled and burlapped’’ or 
B. & B. Planting balled evergreens is like planting potted 
plants, and just as easy. Unpack as soon as received. Protect the 
roots from sun and wind, plant firmly, and they transplant 
as easily and successfully as shrubs. 
Pruning Evergreens 
If you wish to make Arborvitaes, Junipers and Retinosporas 
more compact, they may be “‘sheared.’’ However, after a plant 
has left the nursery shearing is hardly the correct term as_ the 
branches or tips should be cut out individually with a knife or 
clippers to keep the plant symmetrical, not sheared with grass 
shears as the term would imply. This work may be done almost 
anytime with no ill effect except in hot dry weather. 
Mail Sizes, postpaid 
These are transplanted, sturdy little trees, not balled and 
burlapped as they do not require it. Plant them firmly, water 
them well, give them time and they will make nice trees. B. & 
B. trees cannot be sent by parcel post. 
Five or more of a kind at the 10 rate, less at each rate. 
Arborvitae; Thuja 
One of the most important groups of evergreens. The flatten- 
ed branchlets are clothed with small, usually scale-like leaves 
which look as if pressed tightly together. There are two main 
groups. The American or occidentalis has the branchlets in a 
more or less horizontal position. The Chinese or orientalis type 
has the branchlets in an upright position. 
Arborvitae, Berckmans; Chinese Golden Dwarf; Thuja 
orientalis aurea nana 
A perfect gem for large or small grounds; of superb shape, 
being somewhat ovate, and compact, dwarf habit, reaching a 
height of about 7 ft.; of slow growth; the new growth in 
spring and early summer is gold suffused with green, in winter 

Arborvitae, Berckmans, continued 
green to bronze green; admired by all lovers of formal ever- 
greens; valuable for lawn, landscape and cemetery use.

diameter at the base; fairly rapid growth. Valuable for formal 
plantings and for accent, corners, in front of pillars, or in the 
center background of group plantings. Naturally pyramidal; not 
artificially produced by shearing. Not suitable for dense shade.

Juniper; Juniperus 
The Junipers vary greatly in size from large trees to low 
trailing forms, in shape and in color from deep green to silvery- 
blue and gold. Andorra and Dundee assume a purplish or plum 
color in winter. The leaves are of two kinds—one sharp point- 
ed and awl-shaped, the other scale-like and over-lapping. Some
