in foundation plantings, to mark garden corners and at entrances where a 
degree of formality is desirable. 
PYRAMIDAL ARBORVITAE To 20 ft. One of the best accent plants to use next 
to the house and in boundary or background plantings. Slimmer and more compact 
than American Arborvitae, it is brighter-green both summer and winter and it grows 
rapidly. BHasily kept ata desired height by trimming. A popular variety for hedges 
for which they should be set about 18 inches apart. 
FIRS 
DOUGLAS FIR To 60 ft. in gardens, taller in woodland. A fast-growing tree espe- 
cially suited to commercial production for the Christmas tree market as well as being a 
valuable timber tree. A very graceful specimen in the garden. Grows well over a large 
part of the country except in the extreme South. Very symmetrical with long needles, 
flexible branches and foliage varying, according to season, from light blue to green. 
The blueness intensifies as the trees increase in age. 
BALSAM FIR To 80 ft. The fragrant Balsams of the north woods are the most popular Christmas 
trees, bringing the best prices on the market. Since they grow rapidly, a small planting will pro- 
vide a continuous supply of Christmas trees for home use for several years and a larger planting 
will prove profitable commercially. Grows best in a fairly moist location. Makes the best outdoor, 
permanent Christmas trees. Y 
JUNIPERS 
_ The dry-land evergreens, In seasons of drouth and intense 
heat, Junipers come through unharmed while other evergreens 
are severely damaged or killed outright. Junipers are popular 
for ornamental planting and grow readily. We offer here a 
useful choice of types. “ 
IRISH JUNIPER 8 ft. An exclamation point 
(1!) of blue-green foliage admired as an accent in 
foundation plantings and in formal gardens. Does 
best in regions of mild winters with light snows, 
PFITZER JUNIPER 4 ft., often spreading to 
8 ft. wide. The most useful of all evergreens. 
Grows in sun or semi-shade, on windy corners 
where other evergreens would be winter-killed and even tol- 
erates the smoke of cities. Its steel-gray foliage has a soft, 
feathery appearance despite its mass. 
So 
PLUMY JUNIPER To 1 ft. A low, spreading ee : 3 ¢

evergreen for carpeting sandy or rocky slopes, to 
use in rock gardens and for planting in the foreground of 
taller evergreens and shrubs. ts soft feathery foliage is 
grayish green.in summer turning in fall to a gay purple hue 
which enlivens the winter landscape. It tolerates some shade 
and the smoke of cities.

-YEWS oes 
The Yews are characterized by rich, dark green foliage throughout 
the year except for a period each spring when the bright: green, new 
growth affords a pleasing change. On mature plants scarlet berrie 
appear in summer. Yews are hardy, slow-growing and thrive in mo ‘a 
shade than other evergreens. They may be allowed to grow naturall Fo 
or can be kept closely pruned, making them useful for foundation 
plantings and for hedges of low to medium height. Yews are the best 
permanent hedge material for year ’round beauty.

be kept trimmed to a smaller size. Often called “the Boxwood jf 
the North.” 
UPRIGHT YEW To 12 ft. A conical form, broad 
at the base and tapering evenly to the top. This is the 
best variety for hedges, in which the plants are set 18 
to 24 inches apart. By all means the outstanding con fer 
for ornamental planting. © : e
