LEXINGTON NURS ERTES@aiinces 

Evergreens 
Most commonly used for foundation plants, Evergreens serve a great many other purposes. Taller-growing 
varieties make ideal wind-breaks and screens, or serve as stately specimens to accentuate focal points in landscape. 
Because of their many textures and types of foliage, as well as the great variety of colors, a planting of Evergreens 
is attractive during all twelve months of the year. Lexington plants are of superb quality, transplanted many times 
to promote fibrous root growth, and are dug with a firm ball of earth to insure transplanting success.

PICEA (The Spruces) 
The Spruces, as a family, comprise one 
of the most adaptable and useful groups of 
hardy evergreens. Except for a limited 
number of dwarf forms, they naturally 
grow into large trees; and this fact should 
be carefully weighed before including them 
in foundation plantings. On the other 
hand, when planted in a hedge and closely 
sheared, the White and Norway Spruces 
become dense walls of green. As individual 
specimens, all the Spruces attain a dignity 
that is impressive.

our North woods and a handsome sym-
