Hardy Evergreens, Beautiful Summer and Winter " 

For producing an immediate, finished effect with an air of 
permanence and stability, nothing will take the place of 
evergreens. They blend delightfully with the gay flowers of 
summer, and when the wind-swept winter garden is brown 
and bare, their foliage masses afford a sense of coziness and 
cheer. The taller kinds are excellent for accent trees beside 
the doorway and at corners of the dwelling, for screens and 
shelter from winter's winds. The lower are ideal for founda- 
tion planting and other locations where height is not desired. 
The heights to which the trees will grow are necessarily 
approximate and will vary with soil conditions and care 
given. 
Evergreens Are Easy to Plant 
Grown with plenty of room, our evergreens are compact, 
well developed trees of their size and variety. They have 
been transplanted and root pruned to develop a good root 
system. They are liberally graded and, except mail sizes, 
are dug with a ball of earth wrapped in burlap, termed “ball- 
ed and burlapped, or B&B. Planting balled evergreens is like 
planting potted plants, and just as easy. Protect the ball of 
earth from sun and wind, plant firmly, water well, and they 
transplant as easily and as successfully as shrubs. 
Pruning Evergreens 
To keep Arborvitaes and Junipers compact and shapely, 
they may be “sheared.’ After a plant has left the nursery 
shearing is hardly the correct term as the branches or tips 
should be cut out individually with a knife or clippers, not 
sheared with grass shears as the term implies. Pruning may 
be done almost any time with no ill effect except in hot dry 
weather. 
Mail Sizes Postpaid 
These are transplanted, sturdy little trees, not balled and 
burlapped as they do not require it. Plant them firmly, water 
them well, give them time and they will make you nice trees. 
B&B trees cannot be sent by parcel post. 
Arborvitae; Thuja 
One of the most important groups of evergreens. The flat- 
tened or fern-like branches are clothed with tiny, usually 
scale-like leaves which look as if pressed tightly together. 
There are two main groups. The American or occidentalis 
has the branchlets in a more or less horizontal position. The 
Chinese or orientalis type has the branchlets in a vertical or 
upright position. 
Arborvitae, Berckman’s; Thuja orientalis aurea nana 
A perfect gem; superb, somewhat ovate shape; compact, 
dwarf habit, slowly growing about 7 ft. high; new spring and 
early summer growth gold suffused with green, in winter 
green to bronze-green; valuable for cemetery, lawn and land- 
scape; admired by all lovers of formal evergreens.

Arborvitae, Goldspire; Thuja orientalis aurea conspicua; 
Biota aurea conspicua 
A beautiful Oriental Arborvitae and one of the best of the 
large growing golden evergreens; of compact, erect, conical, 
symmetrical habit; not as compact as Berckman’s but if de- 
sired can be made compact by pruning; foliage intense gold, 
some branches of almost solid metallic tint, others suffused 
with green, most intense when the growth is new but well 
retained into winter; rapid growth, becoming 15 to 18 ft. high.

Arborvitae, Woodward Globe; Thuja occidentalis Woodwardi 
A low, compact form of the American type, growing 3 to 
3 ft. high; naturally globular. Deep green foliage; very 
hardy; its dwarf nature makes it useful for cemeteries, low 
borders, foundation and formal plantings, in sunny situations.

, Juniper; Juniperus 
The Junipers vary greatly in size from large trees to low 
trailing forms, in shape, and in color from deep green to sil- 
very, blue and gold. Some assume a purplish or plum color 
in winter. The leaves are of two kinds: one sharp pointed 
and awl-shaped, the other scale-like and overlapping. Some 
varieties have only one kind of foliage, others both. Red Ce- 
dar and its varieties are really Junipers, but are often called 
Cedars. 
Juniper, Blue or Silver; Juniperus virginiana glauca 
One of the most popular blue Junipers; young growth sil- 
very, becoming beautiful bluish-green, affording color con- 
trast in the landscape; fairly rapid growth; broadly conical — 
with long slender branches producing a graceful effect; grows — 
15 to 20 ft. high; may be kept lower and dense by pruning.
