CONIFERS ARE STRONG, 
VIGOROUS, BEAUTIFUL 
Every day in the year Evergreens have 
an important place in the landscape pic- 
ture. In the summer the foliage enriches 
the color of shade trees and shrubs; in 
winter, when days are dull and gardens 
sleeping, the Evergreens show their forms 
and when color breaks in spring we know 
that King Winter has retreated and that 
the “time of the singing birds” is at hand. 
To keep Coniferous Evergreens beautiful 
through the years, they should be fertilized 
annually. The best season is in March, 
just before the new growth begins. Well- 
rotted manure is the best fertilizer to use. 
If this is not to be had, sheep-manure and 
bonemeal are very satisfactory. Keep the 
soil loosened. If plants aré in beds, these 
beds should be worked up at least six 
inches from the outside of the branches. 
If specimen plants, make a circle at least 
12 inches outside branches of plant. Keep 
this free from weeds and grass. 
Practically all Conifers may be pruned, 
and thus kept shapely. The only species 
not usually pruned are Pinus and Cepha- 
lotaxus. Shearing may be done not later 
than May and June, as growth is slow on 
certain varieties, and plant would be too 
formal and stiff during the winter if pruned 
later. 
Very little spraying is necessary for 
Coniferous Evergreens—usually two spray- 
ings of 8 to 10 tablespoonsful of Bordeaux 
Mixture and 3 teaspoonsful of Black Leaf 
40 to each gallon of water will control the 
fungus and insect diseases of these plants 
—one spraying in May or June and another 
in July or August.
