CHOICE CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS— Continued 
SPRUCE ((iccc) 
Useful type of Coniferous Evergreens. Especially desirable as specimens, but may be used as live, outdoor Christmas 
trees, screens, and as a background for smaller type plants. Some are used temporarily in foundation plantings, but we 
do not recommend this use of the Spruces; they soon become too large unless kept pruned severely. 
COLORADO BLUE (Picea Pungens glauca). Resembles Norway Spruce, but has slightly bluish tendency, the color 
being more pronounced during Spring and early Summer when the plants put on new growth. Most successful in cooler 
climate and high altitude. Should not be confused with Koster Blue Spruce, which is more uniform in color but less 
uniform in habit of growth. 18—24 in. $5.00, 24-30 in. $6.50, 30-86 in. $8.00, 3-4 ft. $10.50, 4-5 ft. $15.00. 
NORWAY (Picea excelsa). he best known of all the Spruces. Easily transplanted, fast, thrifty growers. Long-lived, 
and adapted to many uses. Retains its dark green foliage throughout the year. 18-24 in. $2.75, 2-3 ft. $3.50, 3-4 ft. 
$4.50, 4-5 ft. $6.00. Write for quotations on larger sizes. 
The tendency in Evergreen plantings is towards the better, 
Japanese dwarf, slow-growing, permanent plants, rather than the fast grow- 
Pyramidal ing, less permanent varieties which frequently become overgrown 
Yew and ineffective within a few years. No family of Evergreens has 
created such interest in recent times as the Yews. They are now 
by far the most important family of Coniferous Evergreens. 
The great interestin Yews is easily accounted for—their rich, 
dark green color, which is maintained at all seasons, in partial 
shade or full sunlight; the variation of form, ease of training and 
pruning — also their adaptability to various soils and uses. An- 
other prized feature of the Yews is their scarlet berries, which 
frequently are borne in great abundance. 
Hick’s Yew 
We can furnish Yews with the following habits of growth: Pyramidal, Columnar, Semi-Upright, 
Spreading, and Compact Low-Growing Dwarf. These types have a place in modern landscape 
plantings, and are displacing numerous less desirable Evergreens. 
DWARF (Taxus cuspidata nana). Low-growing, compact, spreading; slow grower. 15-18 in. $6.00 
HATFIELD (Taxus media hatfieidi). Compact, conical shape, with upright branches and 
dense foliage. 18-24 in. $6.00 each. 
HICK’S (Taxus hicksi). An upright, columnar grower but having more spread than 
the Irish Juniper. Compact, dark green foliage, which retains its lustrous green color 
throughout the year. Entirely hardy and adapted to a wide range of soils, but like 
all Yews, it responds to a deep, fertile soil. Suitable for planting at entrances and 
corners in foundation planting. 
Also may be used as specimens in formal gardens and other positions requiring a col- 
umnar type plant. 15-18 in. $4.00, 18-24 in. $5.00, 24-30 in. $7.00, 30-36 in., $9.00 
36-42 in. $12.00, 42-48 in. $16.00. 
JAPANESE PYRAMIDAL (Taxus cuspidata capitata). The normal growing habit of 
this Yew is pyramidal — broad at the base and tapering towards the top — but may be 
sheared into other forms if desired, as the Yews respond to pruning and become more com- 
pact from year to year when kept sheared. This pyramidal type is used extensively as 
an upright grower in foundation plantings, along with its companion, the spreading Taxus 
cuspidata. Both are adapted to full sunlight and partial shade. Remains dark green 
at all seasons of the year, and retains its bright, red berries for six months during Fall 
and Winter. 15-18 in. $4.00, 18-24 in. $5.00, 24-30 in. $7.00, 30-36 in. $9.00, 36-42 in. 
$12.00, 42-48 in., $16.00. 
JAPANESE SPREADING (Taxus cuspidata). Wide, spreading habit, the width exceed- 
ing the height. Dark green foliage and red berries, the same as the Pyramidal Yew. 
Adapted to both full sunlight and partial shade, making it the most useful of all spread- 
ing type Coniferous Evergreens. 15-18 in. $4.00, 18-24 in. $5.00, 24-30 in. $7.00, 30-36 
in. $9.00. 
EVERGREEN HEDGE 
Coniferous Everercens make very satisfactory hedees. 
They, as a rule, require less shearing than Privet, as well as 
the varieties used for this purpose are hardy and beautiful.

more for hedge planting we can furnish 18-24 in. at $2.75 
each, 24-30 in. at $3.50 each, 30 36 in. at $4.25 each. 
JAPANESE PYRAMIDAL YEW 
One of the best Everureens for a hedue. because of its rich, 
dark green color and its adaptability ta various soils, as well 
as its gracetul growth. In lots of 30 Gr more, 18-24 in. at 
$4.25 each, 24-30 in. at $5.75 each.
