ROEDING’S QUALITY C O N : [F i ae % 
Conifers are the most important group of trees. Planting them 
is an investment in dignity and permanence, the foundation 
of a growing intimacy with the owner and his family through 
the years. Choose your tree with an eye to the future. Most 
of them do not tolerate shallow, poorly drained soils beyond 
the early years. Conifers in California have a relatively rapid 
i growth due to more favorable conditions. Give them plenty
