ARBORVITAE 
AMERICAN ARBORVITAE (White Cedar) To 30 ft. Hardy, reliable 
evergreen for clipped or informal hedges, windbreaks, screen plantings 
or as specimens alone or in groups. They make attractive backgrounds 
for your favorite flowering shrubs, perennials, annuals and bulbs. Broadly 
pyramidal in shape with thick foliage which is bright green in spring, 
darker green in summer and bronzy in winter. Grows in full sun or 
slight shade and prefers a rather moist soil, 
GLOBE ARBORVITAE 3 to 4 ft. This is the Woodward variety, best 
of the globe-shaped arborvitae because it requires little or no trimming 
: : to keep it in shape. Its dark green foliage holds its color all winter, 
brightening as the new growth appears in the spring. Valuable in foundation plant- 
ings, to mark garden corners and at entrances where a degree of formality is desirable. 
PYRAMIDAL ARBORVITAE to 20 ft. One of the best accent plants 
to use next to the house and in boundary or background plantings. 
Slimmer and more compact than American Arborvitae, it is brighter 
green both summer and winter and it grows rapidly. Easily kept at a 
desired height by trimming. A popular variety for hedges for which they 
should be set about 18 inches apart. 
FIRS 
DOUGLAS FIR to’60 ft. in gardens, taller in wood- 
land. A fast-growing tree especially suited to commer- 
cial production for the Christmas tree market’ as well 
as being a valuable ‘timber tree. A very graceful speci- 
men in the garden. Grows well over a large part of the 
country except in the extreme South. Very symmetrical 
with long needles, flexible branches and foliage vary- 
ing, according to season, from light blue to green. The 
blueness intensifies as the trees increase in age. 
BALSAM FIR to 80 ft. The fragrant Ralsams of the 
supply of Christmas trees for home use for several years 
and a larger planting will prove profitable commercially. 
Grows best in a fairly moist location. Makes the best 
outdoor, permanent Christmas trees. 
JUNIPERS 
IRISH JUNIPER 8 ft. An exclamation point. (!) of blue-green foliage 
admired as an accent in foundation plantings and in formal gardens. Does 
best in regions of mild winters with light snows. 
PFITZER JUNIPER 4 ft., often spreading to 8 ft. wide. The most useful 
of all evergreens. Grows in sun or semi-shade, on windy corners where 
other evergreens would be winter-killed and even tolerates the smoke of 
cities. Its steel-gray foliage has a soft, feathery appearance despite its mass.
