HEMLOCK 



(Tsuga Canadensis) 

 A magnificent native tree that grows rapidly and is very hardy. 

 If allowed sunUght, it will hold its lower branches and remain 

 symmetrically furnished from the ground up, in which condition it 

 makes splendid lawn specimens with a certain elegance and beautj' 

 that its slender, graceful branches alone possess. It will withstand 

 wind and exposure and, therefore, is suited for shelter-belts and 

 windbreaks as well as in all mass plantings of large evergreens. 

 Hemlocks succeed weU in almost any soil but prefer mostly a good 

 loam that is moist rather than too dry. Hemlocks may be used 

 wherever a small tree is wanted or in hedges. For the latter purpose 

 no other evergreen is better adapted, because it becomes impenetrable 

 as well as neat and attractive and may be kept low or allowed to 

 grow into tall hedges or screens. For this purpose it rivals the 

 famous Yews of England.

"The Firs are mostly 

 quick - growing, hardy 

 evergreens that are useful 

 in producing natural and 

 wooded effects, as well as 

 in the more attractive 

 decoration of parks and 

 lawns. They generally 

 are of pyi-amidal growth 

 and sjTnmetrical outline 

 and matm-e rapidly. Some 

 of the most ornamental 

 large-growing evergreens 

 are contained in this 

 group. The beauty of 

 most varieties is best dis- 

 played when the trees 

 are used as individual 

 specimens."

(Pyramidalis) 



Similar to American 

 Arborvitse, but more dense 

 in habit and retains its 

 lustrous green color all

 columnar habit, adapting 

 it for formal planting; also 

 suitable for lawn speci- 

 mens, evergreen groups 

 and hedges.

 value. We now offer a splendid stock of this useful evergreen.
