Permanence and year-round beauty 
are not the only attributes of this 
group of evergreens. From large trees 
for specimens and windbreaks we have 
many hard to beat dwarf shrubs for 
ground covers, 
and other uses. They do best in sunny 
foundation planting, 
location, are not fussy about fertilizer 
and need little pruning. If growth is 
too rapid cutting back of tip growth 
encourages bushier specimens. 
ABIES—The Fir 
Abies concolor (White Fir). Some- 
times called Silver Fir. This is one of 
the stateliest and loveliest of all 
“Christmas Tree’ type conifers. Growth 
is slow to moderate, making a pyramid 
of soft silvery gray-green needles. 
Makes a lawn specimen of considerable 
value. Balled $3.50 to $5.00. 
CEDRUS—The Cedars 
Cedrus deodara (Deodar or Indian 
Cedar). A very popular cedar with free 
growing gray-green foliage and hori- 
zontal branches clear to the ground.

ful as an accent plant in foundation
