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. 
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 

Berckman’s 
upright position. 
Golden Arborvitae 
Arborvitae, American Pyramidal; Thuja occidenialis 
pyramidalis 
Compact and narrowly pyramidal, with age almost a per- 
fect column, its short branches densely covered with deep 
green foliage. Fairly rapid growth, reaching 18 to 20 ft., usu- 
ally not over 2 ft. in diameter at the base. Valuable for 
formal plantings, for accent, corners, in front of pillars, or in 
the center baskground of groups. Naturally pyramidal; not 
artificially produced by shearing. Not suitable for dense 
shade.

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.
