Front cover is of an outdoor setting. Centred at the top of the image is the title, “The Evergreen” in capital letters. A large tree and its leaves take up the majority of the cover. To the right of the image is the word “Spring”, and within the framing of the top of the “S” is an image of a female figure sitting on the ground. We see the woman in profile from the right: she has dark hair that is untied, her sleeves are rolled back, and she is barefoot. Her shirt is white with black polka dots and her skirt is black. She is surrounded by plants and wildlife, and is reaching her right arm towards a flower. This same image is featured on the title page. On the bottom-right of the cover it reads: “published by Patrick Geddes & Colleagues at the Lawnmarket of Edinburgh.” On the bottom-right of the image is the author’s signature, an “m” inside of a circle. Across the bottom of the image it reads: “London”; “T. Fisher Unwin”; “Paternoster Row”. The brown leather cover is embossed in muted colours of green and red. Image is vertically displayed.
