EVERGREENS 
Evergreens with their brilliant summer green contrasts and 
vivid winter tints are an essential in landscape design. For 
foundation plantings they furnish solid masses of interesting 
color at all seasons. Fine contrasts in color, texture and form 
can easily be had in combining the many varieties in groups. 
The appearance of most other shrubs and trees is enhanced by 
interplantings of evergreens. 
As single trees not combined with others for accent of door- 
ways, corners or in favored spots in the landscape scene, ever- 
greens are of first importance. In forming screens, hedges, and 
windbreaks, however, their greatest worth is apparent for they 
are as effective in winter as in summer and with but few 
exceptions are entirely amenable to trimming and shaping. 
Greens, greys, yellows and blues and all intermediate shades 
are available in shapes that are column-like, pyramidal, broad- 
ly conical, round, half upright, and creeping. Once they are 
established they require little care. 
Evergreens are dug “balled and burlapped’’—'’B&B’’—that 
is, with a sufficient amount of earth in which they grew, undis- 
turbed and bound around the roots securely with burlap. 
NOTE:—Plant evergreens with the foliage at least two feet 
away from the building. 
Sizes given below, in the case of upright growing trees, refer to the height 
of the tree; in the case of spreading types, they refer to width or spread. 
The silhouettes iilustrate the growing habits of the varieties opposite which 
they appear.
