Kversgreens 
Most commonly used for foundation plants, Evergreens serve a great many other purposes. Taller-growing 
varieties make ideal wind-breaks and screens, or serve as stately specimens to accentuate focal points in landscape. 
Because of their many textures and types of foliage, as well as the great variety of colors, a planting of Evergreens 
is attractive during all twelve months of the year. Lexington plants are of superb quality, transplanted many times 
to promote fibrous root growth, and are dug with a firm ball of earth to insure transplanting success. 
Thuja Occidentalis 
CHAMAECYPARIS 
( Retinospora)—(The Cypresses) 
An outstanding family of ornamental 
evergreens highly esteemed for their grace- 
ful, feathery foliage and interesting variety

foundation plantings as their growth and 
individual forms are easily checked by 
periodic pruning. 
Pisifera plumosa (Plume Retinospora). 
A very popular and beautiful form of the 
Sawara Retinospora with soft, feathery

JUNIPERUS (The Junipers) 
Natives of rocky pastures and dry, bar- 
ren hillsides, the Junipers play a very 
important role in our New England land- 
scapes. Interesting in foliage and form— 
some tall stately trees, others spreading, 
prostrate, or semi-prostrate shrubs. An 
abundance of sunlight and good drainage 
are their only requirements. 
Chinensis pfitzeriana (Pfitzer Juniper). 
An outstanding shrubby variety with 
gray-green foliage and _ horizontal, 
spreading branches. Attractive as a 
specimen or in group plantings. With- 
stands shade better than any other

PICEA (The Spruces) 
The Spruces, as a family, comprise one 
of the most adaptable and useful groups of 
hardy evergreens. Except for a limited 
number of dwarf forms, they naturally 
crow into large trees; and this fact should 
be carefully weighed before including them 
in foundation plantings. On the other 
hand, when planted in a hedge and closely 
sheared, the White and Norway Spruces 
become dense walls of green. 
Canadensis (White Spruce’. A native of 
our North woods and a handsome sym- 
metrical tree of compact, dense growth 
and silvery-green foliage. Makes an ex- 
cellent specimen subject and also used 
for hedges. 
PICEA—Continued 
Excelsa (Norway Spruce). Rugged in out- 
line with arching branches becoming 
pendulous with age. Dark green, shiny 
foliage. An outstanding variety for ex- 
posed locations and windbreaks.

PINUS (The Pines) 
Here again, we have a group of hardy 
evergreens that displays not alone an or- 
namental, but even more, an intrinsic 
economic value. The dwarf forms make 
good subjects for the foundation-planting; 
but the others are chiefly timber trees that, 
if given opportunity, make big specimens 
of forest proportions. They may, however, 
be confined by pruning and thus adapted 
to many special purposes. 
Resinosa (Red Pine). Long, glossy green 
needles in clusters of two. Symmetrical 
growth reaching 25 feet at maturity; 
reddish brown bark. Excellent for wind- 
breaks and screens.

Strobus (White Pine). A native of New 
England and much valued for its lum- 
ber. A handsome evergreen with soft, 
silvery-green foliage and very rapid in 
growth. Excellent for naturalizing and 
much used for hedges and windbreaks 
as it withstands considerable pruning.

PSEUDOTSUGA (Douglas Fir) 
Stately magnificent trees from our West- 
ern States where they are highly valued for 
lumber. Related somewhat to the Spruces 
which they resemble in appearance, their 
habit of growth is less broad and their rate 
of growth much more rapid. They make 
excellent specimens and may also be used 
for screening purposes. 
Douglasi (Douglas Fir). A magnificent 
specimen tree with blue-green foliage 
and very symmetrical form. A valuable 
fast-growing Evergreen deserving of 
wide popularity.
