selves even as well as Peonies. There are several fine

eae All Evergreens except the seedlings are shipped 
Evergreen are now making an impression on the land- 
scape of North Dakota. Many fine varieties are well 
suited to our state. They are especially desired because 
they furnish foliage twelve months in the year. Many 
varieties are excellent for placing inside the grove, for 
wind shelters about buildings, for ornamental effects and 
dwarf types for foundation planting. Today Spruces and 
Junipers are in great demand. 
BLACK HILL SPRUCE. The Black Hill Spruce is a 
great favorite in this Northwest. The tree maintains 
a compact symmetrical growth even in small trees. The 
foliage is a fresh attractive green often running to 
steel blue. It is thrifty, fast growing, often adding 
one foot or more a year to older trees. Its only enemy, 
the red spider, is easily cleaned off by an occasional 
washing with the full force of the hose from the under- 
side. The Black Hill Spruce is a friend of the farmer 
and city man alike. 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE. This handsome tree is 
generally recognized as the aristocrat of the Evergreen 
forest. No other Evergreen has been so highly favored 
by the public. While the nurseryman selects his seed 
_from the choicest blue trees, perhaps not more than 
20% will be the choice silver blue type, 40% may be a 
rich blue sheen tinged with green, the remainder being 
areal green. The rich blue color is especially bright on 
the new growth of early summer, but gradually fades 
in the fall and winter. Hence the best of the blues 
may appear green when received in the spring. Early 
fall is the ideal time to transplant. 
JUNIPER. Juniper are native to our Bad Lands and 
to the Rocky Mountains. These western types thrive 
anywhere in the northern tier of states under the most 
exposed conditions. Fortunately they are of such high 
quality they are now in demand in eastern states. Their 
slower growth makes for denseness and finer quality 
than eastern Evergreens. The following varieties are 
all hardy in the Northwest: 
Juniper, Grizzly Bear. A remarkable Juniper discov- 
ered near the Kildeer Mountains, by our landscape 
architect, Glen Daniels. A tall growing stately form 
of deep blue tinged with silver. Each branch is an up- 
right spire, it is not narrow but full. A lady visitor 
exclaimed, “It looks like a grizzly bear sitting up- 
right”: hence the name. This tree has proved to be 
very hardy, rapid growing, free from diseases. Visitors 
all exclaim over its beauty. Young trees must be pro- 
duced by grafting. Our first stock of these will be 
offered to the public in the spring of ’44. 
Juniper Scopulorum, Silver Cedar. Native to the Bad 
Lands and the Rockies, thrifty, fine foliage, perfectly 
free from diseases, easily trained into desired shapes, 
can be furnished in green, blue-green, and silver-blue 
colors. 
Juniper Silver Globe. Silver Juniper grows in a wide 
variety of forms, sometimes in most interesting speci- 
mens. Among thousands of our young seedlings ap- 
peared a beautiful silver globe, a perfect form. It 
grows slowly but keeps this globe form without trim- 
ming. This is indeed a true aristocrat. 
Juniper Savin. A dwarf form, very much desired in 
landscape planting. Spreading shrub form with slender 
branches and dark green leaves. Ideal for foundation 
planting. 
Juniper Pfitzeriana. A truly graceful distinctive Ever- 
green, very desirable for groups and foundation plant- 
ing. Untrimmed it retains a low arching form of un- 
usual grace and beauty. 
PINE, Dwarf Mountain. This is a compact dense and 
slow growing form of Ponderosa Pine, growing in Cen- 
tral Montana. Excellent for lawn where shapely speci- 
pene are desired. It carries the gracefulness of a 
alm.
