USE EVERGREENS 
Remember, we are Evergreen Specialists—our field-fresh, acclimated stock, humus packed 
to reach you in perfect condition, is sure to please. 
Nothing makes a house a home like evergreens. Our prostrate and spreading kinds are “just 
right” for under your picture window or to soften harsh foundation lines. Upright types are so 
important for accenting doorways and other features; for specimen planting and for ever- 
green hedging, screening and background. For the older home smothered in over-grown 
nt with our evergreens will provide a fresh, new look.

tremely rapid grower and suited to nearly all soils and conditions.

Black Hills of South Dakota is a famed beauty. Heavy-foliaged, 
sometimes quite blue in color, it makes a wonderful windbreak. 
Able to withstand dryness and cold, it reaches a height of 25 to 50 
ft. at maturity with a spread of 10 to 12 ft. in diameter. A good 
background tree, it may also be used for screens and borders or as

THE YEW (TAXUS) FAMILY 
(Hardy Zones 4 to 6) 
Aristocrats among the evergreens. Yews are the darkest green of all 
evergreen shrubs and without question the most striking. 
Yews are comparatively slow growing. It takes a long time to produce 
them in the nursery, which atcounts for their higher cost. But this 
moderate growth is an asset td the home-owner. The passing of years 
only adds to their charm and multiplies their value. Once they have at- 
tained the size desired for the particular location in which planted, an 
occasional shearing will keep them to size indefinitely, and increase 
their density of growth and richness of texture. 
Yews fit in everywhere. Some complete home plantings are made with 
Yews, though we recommendhe inclusion of other plants to add variety, 
interest and color. A Yew hedge is priceless. Yews in the home founda- 
tion planting reflect the dignity and good taste of the home-owner. 
We offer three splendid varieties that fit every planting requirement. 
We have produced these plants in volume and priced them accordingly. 
Our friends who have waited patiently to acquire Yews at a sensible price 
can now use them freely whether needed for extensive hedging or foun- 
(Picea pungens glauca) 
(Hardy Zones 2 to 6, Max. Haft. 50 ft.) 
Everyone knows and cherishes the Colorado Blue Spruce. Noth- 
ing is more striking than a single lawn specimen unless it is a 
group of three or five of these handsome trees. 
Our trees are grown from seed gathered from blue trees and 
predominate in the bluer hues. We have thousands and thou- 
sands in production which makes it possible for us to price so 
attractively. Plant in full sun and mulch with manure, leaf mold, 
Michigan peat or other mulch rich in nitrogen to bring out color.

HICKS’ YEW 
(Taxus hicksi) 
(Max. Hgt. 10 ft.) 
This narrow upright Yew can be kept trimmed to any 
desired shape or height. The rich, dark, glossy green fo- 
liage and brilliant red berries make it one of the most pop- 
ular of all the Yews. Where a slender, formal accent plant 
is desired, or for a tall formal hedge, this variety is unexcel- 
led 
A magnificent plant as an upright specimen against the 
home, and because of its dense columnar habit, it makes one 
of the finest ornamental hedges obtainable.

All three varieties are completely hardy. They will thrive in full sun

fertile soil. 
RED-BERRIED SPREADING YEW 
(Taxus cuspidata) 
(Max. spread. 6 ft.) 
Most popular of all the spreading evergreen Yews. Rich 
foliage and clusters of bright red berries make this Yew 
unique among evergreens. Completely hardy, will thrive in 
sun or shade, but will have a deeper green coloration in 
shade. 
There is no finer spreading evergreen—truly a gem for 
the front of your home—nothing finer for either side of your

(Hardy Zones 2 to 8, Max. Hgt. 50 ft.) 
A superior form of Red Cedar from Winona, Minnesota. 
Blight free and possessing a more compact, richer foliage.

One of the very best semi-prostrate evergreens available. Not 
so low-growing as Waukegan Juniper. 
Distinctive silvery green foliage in summer; rich purple tones 
in winter. Shape is much like a low, broad vase which makes it 
extremely useful in foundation plantings, terraces and rockeries. 
Completely hardy. Prefers a sunny location. Wish you could see
