Maine and New Hampshire is the Thuja occidentalis (Arbor vite),

Salem where there are a few large trees.

Juniperus Virginiana, LZ. (RED CEDAR.) 
Common on dry hills. 
Taxus baccata, Z., var. Canadensis, Gray. (AMERICAN YEW; 
GROUND HEMLOCK.) 
Rockport, Danvers, Essex, Beverly, etc. Rather scarce. The yew 
of Europe is a tree rarely cultivated here; the only specimen now 
called to mind being in Salem, in the garden of Mr. Chas. M. Rich-
