Center Point, Iowa | Specimen Evergreens 
TREES AND SHRUBS FOR ADVERSE CITY CONDITIONS 
The following endure the smoky atmosphere and soot of the cities better 
than most kinds. Under such conditions, most evergreens are eventually un- 
satisfactory. The Yews are the most tolerant, and the Arborvitae, Junipers 
and Scotch and Mugho pines are somewhat so. Washing off the foliage fre- 
quently with a hose is quite helpful.
