CONIFERS for Rich and Varied Foliage Effects 
The conifers listed here are all evergreen 
and all have either needle-like or scale- 
like leaves, and most all have cones for 
fruit, except Junipers and Yews, which 
bear berries. All forms and shapes are 
available from low spreading Junipers, 
formal little Arborvitaes, through me- 
dium sized shrubs to very large trees. 
They are a hardy lot, thriving practically 
everywhere.
