ENTRANCES 
For use at entrances it is generally best to choose a type of Juniper, Yew or 
Arboryitae 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 public build- 
ings 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 con- 
fined area. 

FORMAL GARDENS 
One of the oldest uses to which Evergreens have been put in landscaping 
is in formal gardens, both for sentinels or markers, as well as for formal clipped 
hedges, screens and ornamental planting. For formal use the Juniper, Arbor- 
vitae and Yews are most appropriate because 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 entrance, but there are 
Evergreens appropriate for any planting of this nature.
