N° 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, 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 plant- 
ing and general use. These types group together 
well, harmonize with deciduous shrubs, and soften 
the severe lines of the more pyramidal forms. The 
creeping types like Sargent Juniper, Spreading Juni- 
per, etc. may be used in the rock garden, for cov- 
ering small slopes and in the foreground of founda- 
tion plantings. 
Don’t Crowd Large-Growing Types 
An error to be avoided in the use of Evergreens is 
to put large-growing types like Spruce, Pines, and 
Firs in front of porches. In a short time they will 
become crowded and grow out of bounds, requir- 
ing 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.
