Evergreens for Winter Color 
Evergreens are beautiful in various. ways, either because of their 
form, their foliage or their fruits. Berries of Junipers, which con- 
tain the seed of various sizes, usually somewhat smaller than 
common garden currants and they are invariably bluish or of a 
purple hue. Both parts of the flower of Junipers grow on the 
same tree, therefore, any tree may produce berries, some by 
nature are more abundant seed producers, than others. The 
characteristic berries of the Juniper distinguish this tree from all 
other families of evergreens. 
Throughout the world there are approximately 46 families of 
Evergreens, many of which, however, are tender tropical trees, 
and others belong to families which are of small horticultural in- 
terest. There are thought to be growing in the United States about 
930 distinct varieties of Evergreens, the greater part of which are 
not grown to any extent commercially. 
Insect Pest Common to Evergreens 
The two most common insects that infest the Juniper and 
Spruce family, are red spider and aphis, or aphids as they are 
also known. Red spider is detected readily by the foliage turning 
to a yellowish green, and later to brown dead needles when 
the infestation gets real bad; usually starting near the ground 
on upright growing trees, but appearing most any place on the 
prostrate or low growing types. Aphis are readily seen in 
colonies upon close examination, usually on the underneath side 
of the branches, or on the main stem near the top of the tree. 
Where ants are noticed working around the branches of ever- 
green, it is generaliy a sign of aphis being there.
