CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS 
The coniferous evergreens all have either needle-like or scale-like 
leaves, and most all have cone for fruits, except Junipers and Yews 
which bear berries. All forms and shapes are available from low 
spreading Junipers, formal little Arborvitaes, through medium sized 
shrubs to very large trees. They are a hardy lot, thriving from the 
mountains through the warm valleys to the sea coast. 
Available in many sizes from $1.00 up, according to size and variety

able for accents in the foundation planting.

the above. More refined in habit. Useful as a low shrub for foun- 
dation planting.

FERN PINE 
Podocarpus elongatus. Here is a good foliage plant with fern-like 
light green leaves that will tolerate sun or shade from light to
