The Cedars 



BLUE VIRGINIA (Juniperus virginiana glauca). A variety of the Virginia 

 Cedar, but with far more beautiful foliage than the older type. The color 

 is dark bluish green, and is brought out to the best advantage when shown 

 against a background of dark green trees Or shrubs. The foliage has the 

 same pungent, fragrant odor as the older familiar Cedar. This variety makes 

 a splendid specimen tree for lawn plantings, for screens between the house 

 and service yard, or for low windbreaks. It is seldom advisable to plant 

 any variety of Cedars near an apple orchard, but there are so many other 

 uses that the trees are almost indispensable. We have given special atten- 

 tion to the Cedars in our nursery, with the result that the trees we now have 

 are worthy of being classed as "specimens." They have been root-pruned 

 and transplanted, thus forming a large ball of roots. Each 10

^ i Canadian Hemlock 



J A native American tree of which 



everyone should be proud. It grows 

 J naturally from Canada to Alabama, 

 ^"'^^^ forming dense forests of valuable tim- 

 'fs^m jjgj. jjj open landscapes the Hemlock 

 is a most beautiful tree. The main 

 branches grow almost straight from the 

 trunk, while the branchlets droop grace- 

 fully, giving the entire tree an appear- 

 ance entirely distinct from other ever- 

 greens. The foliage is narrow and 

 feathery, light green when first showing, 

 bat changing to deep green at maturity. 

 The Hemlocks thrive best in a moist 

 ± ^.S^^I^H^^^^^IHH situation and in groups. A mature tree 



^ 'i^^^H^H^^^^^^^M -will reach 60 feet in height, and in 



favored places some specimens may grow 

 to 90 or 100 feet. The Canadian Hem- 

 lock, or Hemlock Spruce, is almost as 

 valuable as the Arborvitses for hedges, 

 screens, and windbreaks. For massing 

 around the house foundations it is ex- 

 tremely valuable, but in such a position 

 the trees should be trimmed to make a 

 dense growth. Each 10 100
