ORNAMENTAL EVERGREENS 
The Evergreen family is our most valuable aid in beautifying our 
surroundings. They are valuable even in the smallest place because they 
prevent a look of bareness in the winter months. Our soil and 
climate are ideally suited to their growing habits. They serve well 
when used as a year around screen or windbreak. 
Possibly the most popular use of the Evergreen is in the foundation 
planting. A planting of this type is used mainly to blend the home 
and landscape together. These plantings will include a variation in 
height and depth according to the architecture of the home. Tall, nar- 
row varieties such as the Upright Junipers and Arbor Vitea are usually 
planted either at the entrance or on the corners of the home. Lower 
growing varieties are planted between them. Evergreens can also be 
attractively grouped with deciduous trees and used as a background 
for blooming shrubs. 
Evergreens may be safely moved and planted everywhere in the 
spring. Fall planting in mild, moist areas only. They are dug with solid 
balls (balled in burlap) so the roots lose none of their effectiveness. 
All Evergreens have different growing habits and their ultimate sizes 
vaty. For this reason it is important to select the Evergreens best suited 
for specific positions in your plantings. 
Most of the Evergreens listed will require trimming. Trimming will 
keep an Evergreen at a desired size and also regular, timely trimming 
will insure a more compact Evergreen. 
The majority of the Evergreens like considerable sunshine, however, 
there are some varieties which will tolerate shade. The Yews (Taxus) 
are tolerant of north exposures. Arbor Vitea, Pfitzers and Mugho Pine 
will grow in partial shade. : 
Evergreens require tremendous quantities of water in fall to go into 
the winter as they never become dormant. They are most often attacked 
by Red Spider and the best remedy is to dust with Dusting Sulphur, 
or “End-O-Pest.” Protect from dogs by wire fence or clusters of Bar- 
berry Shrubs.
