Evergreens 
No planting is complete without some _ ever- 
greens. Here where the winters are long we need 
what evergreens alone can best give us, twelve 
months of complete beauty and service. 
Visitors to the farm home-of Mr. and Mrs. V. M. 
Gibbons near Crookston remark on the appear- 
ance of “welcome” their evergreens give. 
Arbor Vitae, Pyramidal—As it grows it holds its 
pryamidal shape and keeps a good green color 
all winter. Should be watered good in late fall to 
help prevent sunburn in early spring. Does best 
on the east and north side of a house. Price each, 
30-36-inch, $7.00. 
American Arbor Vitae—Or its common name, 
white cedar, is a native of eastern Minnesota. 
Can be trimmed to any shape. 18-24 inch, $4.50. 
Arbor Vitae, Siberian—Grows naturally in a 
round shape, but is easily trimmed. It is our 
favorite for foundation planting, very. suitable 
for planting one on each side of the steps. Real 
hardy, 18-24 inch, $7.00. 
Dundee Juniper—Pyramidal shape, good green 
color in the summer turning to a nice purplish 
color in the winter. 3-3% ft., each $9.00. 
Pfitzer Juniper—The lowest of the spreading 
juniper. 18-24 inch, $6.00. 
Savin Juniper—This one spreads out, too, but 
the branches point up. 18-24 inch, $6.00. 
Mugho Pine—The best of the dwarfs. Can be 
trimmed to any shape. Should always be pruned 
just after it has made most of its growth in June. 
Otherwise it will get too open and coarse. All the 
junipers that are used for foundation planting 
need regular pruning at least once a year in or- 
der to maintain their compactness and_ prevent 
their growing too tall. This is easily done with a 
sharp scissor. Price of Mugho pine, balled and 
burlapped, 18-24 inch, 36.00. 
Colorado Spruce—Because these trees vary so 
much in shape, size and color, prices also vary 
too much to list all sizes. We have them up to 5 
feet. 
Black Hills Spruce—18-24 inch, $4.50.
