DO NOT SELL ITEMS & SIZES NOT LISTED EVERGREENS 
ORNAMENTAL EVERGREENS 
The Evergreen family is our most valuable aid in beautifying our 
surroundings. They are valuable even in the smallest place because 
they prevent a look of bareness in the winter months. Our soil and 
climate are ideally suited to their growing habits. They serve well 
when used as a year around screen or windbreak. 
Possibly the most popular use of the Evergreen is in the founda- 
tion planting. A planting of this type is used mainly to blend the 
home and landscape together. These plantings will include a variation 
in height and depth according to the architecture of the home. Tall, 
narrow varieties such as the Upright Junipers and Arbor Vitea are 
usually planted either at the entrance or on the corners of the home. 
Lower growing varieties are planted between them. Evrgreens can 
also be attractively grouped with deciduous trees and used as a back- 
ground for blooming shrubs. 
Evergreens may be safely moved and planted everywhere in the 
spring. Fall planting in mild, moist areas only. They are dug with 
solid balls (balled in burlap) so the roots lose none of their effective- 
ness. 
All Evergreens have different growing habits and their ultimate 
sizes vary. For this reason it is important to select the Evergreens 
best suited for specific positions in your plantings. 
Most of the Evergreens listed will require trimming. Trimming 
will keep an Evergreen at a desired size and also regular, timely 
trimming will insure a more compact Evergreen. 
The majority of the Evergreens like considerable sunshine, 
however, there are some varieties which will tolerate shade. The 
Yews (Taxus) are tolerant of north exposures. Arbor Vitea, Pfitzers 
and Mugho Pine will grow in partial shade. 
Evergreens require tremendous quantities of water in fall to go 
into the winter as they never become dormant. They are most often 
attacked by Red Spider and the best remedy is to dust or spray with 
Ovatran. Protect from dogs by wire fence or clusters of Barberry 
Shrubs.
