Varielies —~ 
PINE - Pinus 
Austrian (Pinus nigra). One of the best tall growing 
Pines. Long needles make dark glossy foliage. Cones 
in fall and winter add to beauty. Useful as speci- 
men, screen plant, or windbreak plant. 
Mugho (P. montana mughus) . See page 25 for illustra- 
tion. This dwarf, low growing, spread-type of Pine 
is useful in foundation planting and rock garden 
work. Slow growing, its tufty foliage is of good color, 
and the plant is adaptable to a variety of soils, a 
valuable planting feature. 
Red (P. resinosa). Dark green needles, long and 
glossy, contrast with the dark red-brown of the bark. 
One of the best evergreens for background. 
RETINOSPORA - Cypress (Chamaecyparis) 
Plume Cypress (C. plumosa). Soft, plume-like foliage. 
Pyramidal shape. Shears well. 
Sawara Cypress (C. pisifera) . Flat foliage of good green 
color. Broadly pyramidal in shape. Shears well. 
SPRUCE - Picea 
Black Hills (Picea canadensis albertiana). Broadly 
pyramidal shape with deep green, thick foliage. Use 
as specimen, screen plant or hedge plant. 
Colorado (P. pungens). Light green foliage. Sym- 
metrical, broadly pyramidal outline. Good specimen 
and screen plant. 
Koster Blue (P. pungens kosteri). One of the most 
conspicuous evergreen trees. Outstanding steel-blue 
foliage and regular outline. Used primarily as a 
specimen tree. 
White (P. alba). See page 25 for illustration. Pleasing 
gray-green foliage. Fine specimen. Has attractive 
small, light brown cones in fall. A superior variety 
to the more common Norway Spruce. 
YEW - Taxus 
The long, glossy, dark green needles serve as an 
appropriate background for the ruby-like red berries. 
The Yews are the longest lived of the evergreens suit- 
able for this locality. Very slow growing, they are 
well adapted to shearing to hedge form. This group of 
evergreens withstands dry locations but will thrive in 
partial shade. They are the most satisfactory plant 
material for foundation planting. 
Dwarf Yew (T. cuspidata nana). One of the best dwarf 
evergreens. Thick, dark green foliage. Slow growing. 
Makes excellent low hedge requiring very little shear- 
ing. 
THEIR STATELY BEAUTY and SYMMETRY 
LIVES ON FOR YEARS 
Hicks’ Yew (T. media hicksi). See page 24 for illus- 
tration. Compact, columnar shape. Useful in founda- 
tion planting, and as a formal specimen. 
Spreading Yew (T. cuspidata) . See page 24 for illustra- 
tion. Rarely over 8-ft. spread and 5 feet in height 
if left unsheared. Deep green, dense spreading foli- 
age. Red fruit in fall. Good plant for foundation 
use, and will stand reasonable amount of shade. Ex- 
cellent hedge plant. 
Upright Yew (T. cuspidata capitata). See page 24 for 
illustration. Good hedge Yew, or as semi-formal 
specimen. Typical deep green Yew foliage, and 
broadly pyramidal shape. 
Broad Leaved Evergreen 
Shrubs 
The preceding class of plants, ‘“EVERGREEN TREES,” 
is characterized by evergreen needle foliage and the 
usual presence of cones. This additional group of ever- 
green plants, commonly distinguished as ‘/BROAD- 
LEAVED EVERGREEN SHRUBS” lacks the cone-bearing 
feature, has leaf-like foliage in place of the ‘‘needle”’ 
eee and is generally characterized by flowers or 
ruits. 

DAPHNE cneorum (Rose Daphne; Garland Flower) . 
An outstanding garden plant that every gardener 
should know and grow. Evergreen, fine foliage 
makes a very low, moundy plant covered in spring 
and fall with very fragrant pink blossoms. Blooms 
also intermittently throughout the summer. We 
cannot over-emphasize the value of this plant, 
particularly in fall, when its flowers occur pro- 
fusely until nearly December. An ideal color spot 
in the rock garden or perennial border, or in 
association with low growing evergreens in border 
or foundation beds. 

EUVONYMUS 
Radicans vegetus (Bigleaf Wintercreeper; Evergreen 
Bittersweet) . Will make a billowy, graceful evergreen 
foliage plant that will grow on masonry walls if 
planted nearby. A good “‘filler’’ among needle ever- 
greens. Good soil binder and cover for banks. Orange 
berries in fall. This plant, when planted 12 inches 
apart in a straight line, can be made into an excellent 
low evergreen hedge, either sheared, or natural. 
MAHONIA aquifolium (Oregon Hollygrape). An at- 
tractive plant with holly-like leaves of glossy dark 
green.
