Individual plants in this group make splendid subjects 
for accenting architectural features. They are employed 
where time is a factor and conifers would be too slow, 
or they are substituted for accent conifers where the 
latter would be too heavy for the architectural setting. 
This group gives quick growth and is adaptable to a 
wide variety of conditions. We make these sugges- 
tions: Obtain enough plants to space three feet apart. 
Buy balled or 5-gallon container sizes for quick results. 
Remember that cultural attention is necessary for rapid 
growth. Apply fertilizer generously beginning a month 
after planting. Water frequently in large basins through 
the growing season.
