Berckman’s Golden Arborvitae 
JUNIPERUS (Juniper)—Continued 
Virginiana hilli (777/] Dundee Juniper). We con- 
sider this tree the most valuable Juniper intro- 
duced in recent years. It makes a compact, sym- 
metrical pyramid of moderate size. Its Spring and 
Summer color is grayish-green, slightly on the 
bluish tint. The Fall and Winter color is a purplish- 
plum shade. This is not the bronze color of the 
ordinary Red Cedar, but the most attractive shade 
unlike the Winter color of any other Juniper. 
This remarkable tree is one of the few varieties 
which we grow which is adapted to almost all parts 
of the country. Thrives well in deep South, on Pa- 
cific Coast, as well asin Eastern and Central states. 
PICEA (Spruce) 
The Spruce are among our best known evergreens. 
The needles are short, stiff and sharp pointed. They 
all grow tall and upright, forming a densely branched 
cone. They are used for group and mass plantings, 
screens and windbreaks, and as lawn specimens. 
Canadensis alba (White Spruce). Lg. <A well- 
known native tree. It forms a loosely, sym- 
metrical tree, with rather pendant branches 
toward the base. 
PICEA—( Continued) 
Canadensis albertiana (Black Hills 
Spruce). Med. We wish to call par- 
ticular attention to the Black Hills 
Spruce. This variety, being the 
smallest of the Spruces, develops into 
sturdy, heavy bodied, compact, 
conical trees. It is a native of the 
Black Hills country of South Dakota, 
and as such, will stand some dry- 
ness. Color a good green, with a 
silvery blue cast. It is hardy, easily 
planted and a great favorite. 
Canadensis excelsa (Norway Spruce). 
Lg. A very thrifty and rapid grow- 
ing Spruce of a good green color. 
Best Spruce for screens and wind- 
breaks. Also useful for backgrounds 
of groups and mass plantings where 
it soon towers up behind the other 
evergreens. 
Moerheimi (Moerheim Spruce). Leg. 
An improved strain of Kosters, the 
blue color being more distinct than 
in any other variety.

Pungens glauca (Colorado Blue Spruce). Lg. The 
triumph of evergreen growing; Nature’s culmination 
in producing the most beautiful. The Colorado Blue 
Spruce is the handsomest tree on the Rocky Mountain 
trail. Picture in your mind a perfectly shaped tree, 
with its regular whorls of branches, filled with a 
heavy foliage of a rich, glistening blue, which flashes 
and sparkles in the sunlight. It is used mostly for 
specimen lawn planting, where it becomes the prize 
tree of a man’s property. One or two of these trees 
planted in a group of other dark green foliaged ever- 
greens gives that group distinction. 
Pungens kosteri (Koster’s Blue Spruce). Lg. A 
grafted form of the best of the Blue Spruces. Foliage 
many 
Our stock of this beautiful and popular 
evergreen has been grown with great care from stock 
is silvery blue, densely crowded on the 
branches. 
which we know is the genuine Koster’s, and can 
guarantee its true blue color and character. 
PINUS (Pine) 
The Pines are used principally for group or mass 
plantings where the trees can grow to a fairly large 
size. They are very rugged and picturesque. The 
Austrian and Scotch Pines make good lawn specimen 
trees, while the Mugho, being of a small, dwarf habit, 
lends itself to foundation planting work. 
Austriaca (A wstrian or Black Pine). Lg. A ro- 
bust, stately Pine, rapid in growth and very 
hardy. It is one of the most picturesque Pines, 
making a tall, handsome tree, with a broad, 
oval head. Has long, stiff, dark green needles. 
Fine for lawn specimen or evergreen group 
planting. 
Montana (Swiss Mountain Pine). Med. Coarser, 
more upright than Mugho Pine; very hardy 
and excellent for massing on hillsides or for sea- 
shore uses. Attains a height of about 8 ft. 
Mughus (Mugho Pine). Sm. A very choice, 
hardy, dwarf evergreen; slow growing, com- 
pact and neat in its habit, somewhat globular. 
Our trees are of the true compact type. Valu- 
able for foundation planting. 
Resinosa (Red Pine). Lg. Another long-needled 
Pine, resembling the Austrian Pine. Native of 
northern Wisconsin. 
Strobus (White Pine). Lg. The “King of the 
North Woods.”’ Most ornamental of our native 
evergreens; foliage light, delicate or silvery 
green. Grows in the poorest, light, sandy soil. 
Sylvestris (Scotch Pine). Lg. As a native of 
the British Isles, it is a fine, robust, rapid 
growing tree, very thrifty. Needles are 2 to 5 
in. long, of a light green color. For specimen 
or group plantings.
