Evergreens 
The Linn County Nurseries 
—Pyramidal. 15-20 ft. Grows in a columnar form with- 
out shearing. Brighter and darker green than common 
arborvitae. Much used for entrance, foundation and 
formal plantings. Best trained to one stem, no other 
training needed. Like other arborvitae, sometimes 
sunburned if too severely exposed to the hot sun of 
late winter. Prefers cool moist soil. 
—Sherman. A compact pyramidal form with good color. 
—Siberian.. A broad dense dark green pyramidal arbor- 
vitae. Shears into good globes. One of the hardiest. 
The 5 ft. ones are extra heavy. 
—Spiralis. A pyramidal type with dense often twisted 
clusters of short dark green needles. 
—Standish. A loose global form with gray green foliage. 
FIR—Alpine Fir, Abies lasicarpa. A very slow growing 
compact variety from the Rocky Mountains, having 
dark green foliage. Can be used in foundation plant- 
ings better than most fir or spruce. 
—Concolor. 70-80 ft. The Silver Fir of Colorado. The 
handsomest tall evergreen which grows here, and the 
most free from pests. The foliage is long, flat, curved, 
and not prickly like other evergreen foliage. The color 
ranges from silvery blue to clear green. Old trees 
have a regular conical outline and retain their bran- 
ches to the ground. Concolors endure heat and drought 
splendidly but do not like being crowded nor a very 
smoky or sooty atmosphere. 
—Douglas. Pseudotsuga douglasii. 70-80 ft. Soft flexible 
beautiful green foliage. Vigorous and graceful, retain- 
ing its beauty in old age. 
HEMLOCK—Canadian, Tauga canadensis. 30-40 ft. A 
graceful tree with short flat needles bright above, sil- 
ver beneath. Prefers cool acid soil. Does not tolerate 
dry sunny locations. Easily pruned to keep the size 
desired. 
—Carolina, Similar to Canadian but needles surround 
the twigs.

JUNIPER—Juniperus. These are the best class of evergreens for foundation 
planting on the sunny sides. They can be cut back or sheared anytime 
during the growing season. We are low on the larger sizes of upright 
types this year but have a good well balanced stock coming on.
