Specimen Evergreens 
—Pyramidal. 15-20 ft. Grows in a columnar form with- 
out shearing. Brighter and darker green than common 
arborvitae. Much used for entrance, foundation and 
formal plantings. Best trained to one stem, no other 
training needed. Like other arborvitae, sometimes 
sunburned if too severely exposed to the hot sun of 
late winter. Prefers cool moist soil. 
—Siberian. 10-15 ft. One of the hardiest Arborvitae. 
Broadly conical, dense, dark foliage. Makes excellent 
sheared globes. 
—Woodward Globe. A dwarf form which makes compact 
globes without trimming. Very useful for formal places 
or foundation groups. 
FIR—Alpine Fir, Abies Lasicarpa. A very slow growing 
compact variety from the Rocky Mountains, having 
dark green foliage with a bright stripe. 
—Concolor. 70-80 ft. The Silver Fir of Colorado. The 
handsomest tall evergreen which grows here, and the 
most free from pests. The foliage is long, flat, curved, 
and not prickly like other evergreen foliage, The color 
ranges from silvery blue to clear green. Old trees 
have a regular conical outline and retain their bran- 
ches to the ground. Concolors endure heat and drought 
splendidly but do not like being crowded nor a very 
smoky or sooty atmosphere. 
—Douglas. Pseudotsuga douglasii. 70-80 ft. Soft flexible 
beautiful green foliage. Vigorous and graceful, retain- 
ing its beauty in old age. 
—N'‘kko. Abies homolepis. 80-100 ft. A Japanese fir with 
broad glossy dark green needles. An unusual and 
interesting tree. Fast growing. Should have a some- 
what sheltered location.

strain of Douglas Fir from the Snowy Mountains. 
HEMLOCK—Canadian. Tsuga canadensis. 30-40 ft. Na- 
tive of northeastern United States. A slow growing 
graceful tree with short, flat needles, bright above sil- 
very beneath. Endures full shade. Prefers cool, acid 
soil and some shade, and liable to sunburn if too ex- 
posed to sun in late winter. 
—Sargent’s Weeping. A flat topped form with spread- 
ing branchlets. Very rare and very fine.
