EVERGREENS WHICH 
DO WELL in the SHADE 
On this page you will find described those plants which have been 
proven as best for places in partial shade or spots getting only a little 
sun. No plants will thrive in entirely shaded locations. 
SPREADING YEW 
Without doubt the Yews are among the finest and 
most luxuriant evergreens grown. They are extremey 
hardy, easy to grow, do well in shade and harmonize 
with any other pliant. The spreading variety throws 
out sweeping branches similar to Pfitzer Juniper. May 
be kept trimmed back to desired size or to fit allotted 
space. Foliage is a shade of deep green, soft to the 
touch and always fresh looking. May be kept sheared 
for a low hedge, allowed to grow its graceful wand- 
like branches for informal corner plantings or trimmed 
into compact shape for formal effects. After the 
plant is several years old numerous red berries are 
borne close to the branches, remaining into the winter. 
Well rooted, 12 to 15 in.

HEMLOCK 
Another splendid evergreen which does 
well in partially shaded spots is the Hem- . 
lock. It is one of the most graceful 
growing of plants. Foliage is a light fresh 
green which always looks well in any 
planting. Will grow to quite large size 
if left untrimmed; however, the plants 
should be kept lightly sheared as they 
develop, thus they will become much more 
beautiful and foliage will be dense and 
compact. When the desired height is 
reached the trees may be kept there by 
trimming back each year. We have a nice 
block of these in 
12 to 18 in. size at 
$2.00 each; 2 for $3.75 
Pfitzer’s Juniper, described 
on the previous page, is also 
an excellent evergreen to use 
in shaded locations. However, 
we ask our customers to bear 
in mind that no evergreen will 
do well in locations which get 
no sun at all, especially if 
covered by the low, 
branches of trees.
