EVERGREENS

Remember, we are Evergreen Specialists—our field-fresh, acclimated stock, humus packed 
__ #0 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 te soften harsh foundation lines. Upright 
types are so important for accenting doorways and other features; for. specimen planting 
and for evergreen hedging, screening and background. For the older home smothered in 
ever-grown shrubs, replacement with our evergreens will provide a fresh, new look. 
\pER> ee? 
(Juniperus chinensis ptitzeriana) 
Pfitzer Juniper is perhaps the most universally satisfactory and useful 
evergreen shrub of them all. We grow thousands of them and never 
seem to have enough. It is "just right" for so many locations. 
Exceptionally handsome and hardy, its feathery, grey-green foliage covers 
arching, spreading branches and makes it particularly useful in founda- 
tion planting or as an informal border. Will stand considerable shade, 
is likewise drouth resistant. 
No other evergreen flourishes so well from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, 
from coast to coast. 
We offer both the Green and the Blue forms. Specify color.

JUNIPER 
(Juniperus horizontalis plumosa) 
One of the very best semi-pros- 
trate evergreens available. Not so 
low-growing as the Waukegan Ju- 
niper. 
Distinctive silvery green foliage in 
summer; rich purple tones in win- 
ter. Shape is much like a low, 
broad vase which makes it ex- 
tremely useful in foundation plant- 
ings, terraces and groupings. Com- 
pletely hardy. Prefers a sunny lo- 
cation. Wish you could see our

WAUKEGAN 
JUNIPER

low, trailing, prostrate evergreen. Its 
steel-blue, needle-like foliage does not 
become so ragged with age as other 
low Junipers.

COLORADO 
(Picea pungens glauca) 
Everyone knows and cherishes the Colorado Blue Spruce. 
Nothing is more striking than a single lawn specimen un- 
less 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. Plant in full sun and 
mulch with manure, leaf mold, Michigan Peat Moss or 
other mulch rich in nitrogen to bring out the color.

“JAPANESE 
UPRIGHT YEW 
(Taxus cuspidata capitata) 
Giant among the Yews, with a potential reach of 10 to 25 feet. Its 
normal growing habit is pyramidal, but it may be sheared to any de- 
sired form and held to any height. Used extensively as an upright 
grower in foundation plantings, it is also excellent for corner accents, 
where its dark green foliage, with lighter new growth, makes it one of 
the prettiest of the evergreens. It is as hardy, and tough as the Spread- 
ing Yew, and, like it, adapted to any reasonable soil. The passage of 
years only adds to the beauty and value of this tree.

HICKS’ 
YEW 
(Taxus media hicksi) 
A versatile plant for softening awkward angles or jut- 
ting corners, for dressing up doorways and gateposts, or 
for forming a narrow hedge to divide properties or 
hedging a patio, this Yew is a wise selection for so many 
purposes. Decidedly upright, it has a déep green foliage 
which may be given a trim, formal look or allowed to 
grow freely in sun or shade.
