FOR EVERGREENS 
N ADDITION, we wish to call attention to the 
information as given on page 33 of this cata- 
log, which we feel will be of further help in the 
proper choice of various trees for different pur- 
poses. 
In considering the choice of material, planters 
should make an effort to deterinine the suitability 
of certain types of trees for various locations, 
bearing in mind the conditions of moisture, soil, 
drainage, exposure and proximity to other plant- 
ings and buildings. Certain trees will bear crowd- 
ing, while others will not. It is also important to 
remember that only a few families of Evergreens 
will survive dense shade, or even partial shade for 
any length of time. 
The best suggestions for a shady location, 
such as under other trees, or on the north side 
of buildings, are the Yews of all types and the 
Hemlocks. Other trees which seem to survive a 
certain amount of shade are such trees as Pfitzer 
Juniper and Douglas Fir. 
Because of their persistent foliage, Evergreens 
are ideal for permanent screens against adjacent 
unsightly views. They also make ideal subjects 
for covering hillsides, heavy backgrounds, wind- 
breaks and in similar uses around extensive 
grounds. For this type of use it is important, of 
course, to select those trees among the Pines, Firs 
and Spruces which will develop the type of 
growth necessary for satisfactory results. 

Where it is found desirable to screen property from a busy highway, a thick mass planting of Evergreens solves the 
problem. When used as in this picture, plantings will need renovating from time to time. Fast growers, of course, will 
crowd out the slower growing types, but if given attention from time to time, such a group will serve its purpose for 
a long period. 

This is a vista as seen from the offices of the Hill Nursery. A planting which has been In limited spaces where screens or informal hedges may be desired, the American Arbor- 
maintained for about 25 years, completely screens the various nursery buildings and vitae or other types such as Upright Junipers will serve the purpose. 
affords a pleasant view when seen from the highway. 

A winter's drive through Highland Park in Rochester, New York, is no less interesting than the same road in summer. It is winter that makes us appreciate Evergreens. When other trees 
have lost their leaves and stand shivering in the cold and snow, the warm green colors of the Evergreens give cheer and color to the winter landscape.
