EVERGREENS 
A great assortment of these trees is growing in our nursery and your inspection is invited. No catalog can 
tell the full story of their beauty. Evergreens especially selected for shape, color and beauty are priced accord- 
ing to their merits. 
Junipers—Fine cut foliage. 
Pines—Long needles. 
Spruce and Firs—Short crisp needles. 
PINES 
Rather coarse growing evergreens for the larger plantings. 
This is the finest lot of pines in this part of the country. 
AUSTRIAN—A fast growing, big dense tree with dark green 
needles. 
SCOTCH—A fast growing light green tree. Give it plenty of 
room. 
WESTERN YELLOW or PONDEROSA—Our native tree and 
Sak ies where it can be given plenty of room. Very long 
needles. 
Key to the 
Conifers 
SPRUCE 
The best known evergreen and one of the most beautiful. 
Use as specimens and give plenty of room to grow. Do best 
in a fairly moist place and the color is at its best when the 
tree is growing vigorously. 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE—Vary considerably in color and 
the choicest blue command good prices. We have a wide 
selection of sizes, colors and shapes and a personal selec- 
tion is to be recommended. 
Our selection of evergreens is too great to be listed 
in a catalog. Come and see them! 
JUNIPERS 
Our largest and most valuable group of evergreens. These 
can be sheared to a variety of shapes, and all are improved 
by some restraining. There are two types, erect and low 
growing and they are offered separately to avoid confusion. 
Low Growing Junipers 
These are sold by the spread and not height. 
PFITZER—tThe most useful of the prostrate evergreens. Quite 
shaggy and grows to an ultimate height of four feet. A 
good green. 
GOLDEN PFITZER. Slower growing than the type. 
brilliant yellow. 
SAVIN—Similar to Pfitzer but lighter green and a more com- 
pact, fan shaped grower. 
Tips are 
Erect Growing Junipers 
CANNARTI—An absolutely green slender growing type of 
much merit. Makes a fine contrast to the silvery types. 
HILLS DUNDEE—Grows into a compact, dense pyramid. The 
Winter color is purplish and the Summer grayish green. A 
valuable tree. 
CHERRYSTONE or MONOSPERMA—The new growth on this 
variety is a bright, sparkling silver, different from all others 
and very fine. Makes an irregular erect growth. A good 
rock garden plant. 
SILVER or COLORADO—Finest of the erect type, commonly 
showing slender and quite symmetrical. Color usually quite 
silvery. 

MAILING SIZES 
EVERGREENS 
Are such an essential part of any landscape planting that 
Roberts has studied to bring their customers a wide selection 
of types and sizes suitable for Western plantings. Only small 
evergreens can be moved safely bare rooted and these we 
protect with an ample wrapping of wet moss. Much care 
must be taken in handling and planting and all thru the 
first Summer it is well to do a little shading and spraying of 
the tops. Once established, most evergreens are quite hardy, 
but need help the year of transplanting.

With the present trends, a catalog next year looks out of the ques- 
tion. So we call this our two-year catalog and hope the saving is of 
value. A bulletin of novelties and changes will be sent out next Spring but no catalog 
unless the war problem is solved. 
We would respectfully refer you to the first two pages of this catalog where busi- 
ness terms and shipping conditions are discussed in considerable detail. A reading of this 
should fix in your mind the standards to which we are trying to work. And if there are 
any unanswered questions, don’t hesitate about writing us.
