The pictures below represent the two important stages in the life of 
conifers, field planting and ultimate use in landscape design. The soil in 
the nursery where these small trees are being planted has been carefully 
cover-cropped with alfalfa and treated with agricultural*gypsum to pro- 
mote maximum root development typical of friability. The landscape scene 
forms an ideal back-ground for the dignity and permanence of conifers. 
Picture their graceful stateliness in time to come, each year adding to 
their traditional mission of growing beautiful with age.
