EVERGREENS - —cont’a 
CONCOLOR (White Fir). A native of the Colorado Rockies 
and very well-adapted to the Plains and Central States. 
The color of the foliage is from bright silver to a 
beautiful live green, varying with different trees. In 
small trees less than four feet in height, it is apt to 
be somewhat irregular, but as it gains size it assumes 
unexcelled symmetry and beauty as a specimen tree. It 
is one of the evergreen aristocrats. 
JUNIPER (Low and Spreading) 
PFITZER. It is probably the most universal evergreen in 
America, growing anywhere. It has a good green foliage 
the year through. When allowed to grow naturally in 
the nursery, it spreads: about three feet to each foot 
of height. Marshalls growea part of their stock in 
natural form and a part of it by staking up a central 
leader 18 to 24 inches high, and allowing side limbs to 
come from this leader. When treated in this manner, 
its gain in height and spread is almost equal. The two 
types allow for terrace, ground cover, and low or med- 
ium height foundation plantings. [It lends itsetets to 
trimming and can be kept trimmed into* ball-shaped 
specimens. Very hardy. 



SAVIN. Bush-type. Color of foliage is dark green all 
year. Lends itself to trimming, but most bushes are 
grown natural to the height of two to three feet with 
the width slightly greater. Used principally for foun- 
dations. Is hardy except in the extreme Northwest. 
SPRUCE 
COLORADO SPRUCE. Is well~-adapted to the plains states 
into North Dakota. It is truly a fine evergreen for 
specimen and group planting. The color of foliage 
varies from a good blue to a good live green. The blue 
ones are Selected out and called Colorado Blue Spruce. 
Those with less blue color, varying shades, are listed 
as Colorado Spruce. When a good blue is desired, it 
Must be specified "Good Blue." Very well suited for 
living Christmas trees.

Black Hills of South Dakota. Adapted to Nebraska, Iowa

ly bluish at close range. Has been very popular through
