Where ta Plant 
Each variety of Evergreen requires certain kinds of 
soil (and sometimes certain conditions of sun or shade) 
for hardy growth. Be sure to give ey trees the right 
conditions, as follows: 
American Arborvitae. Prefers moist soil. 
Red Cedar. Needs good soil. 
Balsam Fir. Prefers medium to heavy soil, thrives 
in shade. 
Concolor Fir. Needs moist soil. 
Douglas Fir. Grows well in medium soil. 
Canadian Hemlock. Needs moist soil, prefers 
shade but will live in sunlight. 
European Larch. Prefers moist soil. 
Austrian Pine. Needs a rich, light loam with a 
well-drained sub-soil. 
* Jack Pine. Grows in any soil, even barren sand. 
Mugho Pine. Hardy everywhere except in moist soil. 
Red Pine. Thrives in dry soil, needs sunlight. 
*Scotch Pine. Will grow in poor soil. 
White Pine. Prefers light sandy soil. 
Black Hill Spruce. Needs medium wet soil. 
*Colorado Blue Spruce. Grows in any soil, prefers 
sunlight. 
Engelmann Spruce. Needs good moist soil. 
Norway Spruce, Red Spruce, White Spruce. 
All prefer heavy soil and will grow in partial shade. 
*(Of course, trees which will grow in poor soil will 
grow also in good soil.) 
If you are planting your trees in your garden to let 
them grow a few years before placing them in their 
permanent locations, plant them about a foot apart. 
In two years, if you are not ready to place them per- 
manently, be sure to transplant them, spacing them
