SELECTIONS OF EVERGREEN TREES AND SHRUBS. 



The Norway Spruce, as a beautiful broad conical tree, of extreme hardihood, and suited to 

 almost any location, commands universal approbation. The Drooping variety, interspersed with 

 the Upright growing one, presents an agreeable contrast. The European White and American 

 White Spruces are still more beautiful, and assume a more spiral and less spreading form, as they 

 advance in growth. The Hemlock, or Weeping Spruce, when allowed to branch from the ground, 

 with ample space for expansion, is one of our most graceful trees. There are many other Spruces 

 of great beauty, but, being more rare, they are not obtainable of sufficiently large size for 

 immediate embellishment. 



Of the Cedars, the most beautiful is the Silvery-leaved Deodar, of graceful form, with droop- 

 ing branches, and of very rapid growth. Some trees of this species were partially injured here 

 during the unprecedented winter of 55-56 ; but they have regained their vigor ; and we may 

 rest assured that, when such trees shall have attained size and strength, they will withstand the 

 climate perfectly, and further to the South they will, of course, be permanently secure, even when 

 of the smallest size. The deep-green Deodar forms a more spiral tree, of great beauty, and has 

 proved itself the hardiest of its class, and is also of rapid growth. On this account it is destined 

 to take precedence of the Cedar of Lebanon, whose growth is comparatively slow, with branches 

 much more spreading. Among the species of Cypress, the most lofty and beautiful are the Pyra-
