ENTRANCES 
For use at entrances it is generally best to choose a type of Juniper, 
Yew or Arborvitae of medium size, which can be trained into a shapely 
specimen. Selection should be made from those types which will not 
grow too large and which are in harmony with the architecture and 
color of the residence. 

POST OFFICE 

PUBLIC BUILDINGS 
In recent years there has been a great interest in the planting of pub- 
lic buildings such as Post Offices, Court Houses, Schools, etc., and for 
this purpose Evergreens are most appropriate. Generally this type of 
building is of sufficient size so that somewhat larger varieties may be 
used than in the case of residence plantings. 

FACTORIES 
With the modern tendency for the building of factories in outlying 
sections of the city, more and more such buildings are being provided 
with attractive grounds. In addition to the areas immediately adjacent 
to the building, there is generally an opportunity for an Evergreen 
planting at entrance gates, along drives and in groups wherever there 
is available space. 

SPECIMENS 
In choosing a tree for development into a single specimen, it is best 
to select some type which grows in a naturally beautiful, symmetrical 
habit. For this purpose one of the finest types is the Blue Spruce, as 
well as Douglas Fir, Concolor Fir and some of the other Spruces and 
tall growing Pines.

COVERING BANKS 
There are various types of Evergreens well suited to covering steep 
banks, for planting in ravines, for use in rock gardens and other places 
where a ground cover is needed. Such trees as the Sargent Juniper, in 
both the blue and green forms, the Japanese Juniper and the Hill 
Japanese Juniper are well adapted to this use. 



FOUNDATION PLANTINGS 
The one use for which Evergreens are most frequently used is in 
foundation plantings. There are various types of plantings required for 
different styles of homes, but generally speaking planting should be 
confined to the varieties of the Juniper, Yew and Arborvitae families, 
as such trees can be kept to a confined area. 


FORMAL GARDENS 
One of the oldest uses to which Evergreens have been put in land- 
scaping is in formal gardens, both for sentinels or markers, as well as 
for formal clipped hedges, screens and ornamental planting. For for- 
mal use the Juniper, Arborvitae and Yews are most appropriate be- 
cause of their ease in training and trimming. 

DRIVES 
At entrances to farms, estates, cemeteries and parks there is generally 
an area available for an attractive grouping of Evergreens. Whether 
this is of low or tall growing sorts depends upon the design of the en- 
trance, but there are Evergreens appropriate for any planting of this 
nature.
