EVERGREENS 



BEFORE AND AFTER PLANTING ' “ 
Evergreens have finally come into their own. 
Architects and Landscape Specialists have 
adopted the evergreen as a basis for nearly all 
foundation plantings around the home. We have 
endeavored to offer you the types that are hardy, 
attractive, and suitable for planting generally. 
These are balled in earth and wrapped in burlap, 
thus not disturbing the roots and retaining all 
the original soil. 
If you wish, we will remove the soil and wrap 
the roots in wet moss, thus reducing the weight 
and transportation costs. Please specify how you 
wish packed when ordering. 
PYRAMIDAL ARBORVITAE. An extremely 
narrow, densely compact pyramidal-shaped ever- 
green with dark green spring-like foliage. Retains 
the color all winter. The most popular columnar 
type for home foundation planting. Price: 2-3 
ft., $3.25 each. 
GLOBE ARBORVITAE. More or less the same 
type of foliage as the Pyramidal but radically 
different in type of growth. A real dwarf global 
type, seldom over 2! ft. high and ideal to plant 
in front of taller specimens or under windows. 
Price: 15-18” size, $3.00 each. 
PFITZER’S JUNIPER. A rather striking, low 
growing spreading evergreen, with blue green 
foliage. Branches grow horizontally from the stem. 
Fine for specimen or general purpose planting. 
Price: 114-2 ft., $4.00 each. 
DWARF MUGHO PINE. A real dwarf pine 
seldom growing over 3-4 ft. high. Annual shearing 
will keep the size and shape. Foliage is dark green 
and color remains all winter. Fine for foundation 
planting. Price: 15-18 inches, $4.00 each. 
NORWAY SPRUCE. Time honored Christmas 
tree. Tall, graceful, picturesque tree, reaching a 
height of 60 ft. Broad pyramidal-shaped with 
dark green foliage. Price: 2-3 ft., $2.25 each. 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE. Unquestionably 
the most beautiful of all evergreens with the ex- 
ception of Koster’s Blue Spruce. Foliage is rich, 
glistening blue with a _ stately symmetrical 
growth. Prices: 4-5 ft., $8.00 each; 5-6 ft., 
$9.00 each; 6-7 ft., $10.00 each. 
YEW or TAXUS 
This type of evergreen could perhaps be called 
black green as it has the darkest color of any 
evergreen and the needles are thick, heavy, and 
rounded on the ends and very shiny. Red berries 
appear in fall and during the year. We have 
selected the most common types. 
CUSPIDATA NANA (Dwarf). Seldom grows 
over 4 feet tall with a 3 or 4 foot spread. One of the 
very best dwarf evergreens with its dark green fo- 
liage the year around. Price: 15-18”, $3.50 each. 
CUSPIDATA (Spreading). Seldom grows over 
5-6 feet high. Dark green dense foliage with 
spreading growth. Will stand considerable shade. 
Price: 15-18 inches, $3.50 each. 
CUSPIDATA CAPITATA (Upright Yew). 
Good hedge yew or can be planted as a semi- 
formal specimen. Typical dark green foliage and 
broadly pyramidal. Grows to about 12 feet. 
Price: 114-2 ft., $4.00 each. 
SPECIAL SMALL EVERGREENS

evergreens or seedlings that could be shipped 
parcel post and for that reason, we are offering 
these varieties in the following sizes and they 
will be packed in wet moss and shipped post- 
paid. In three or four years they will have at- 
tained the growth of the regular evergreens as
