The Cedars 



BLUE VIRGINIA (Juniperns 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 are shapely, well 

 branched, and have been root-pruned and transplanted, thus forming a 

 large ball of roots. We are sure they will please all of our customers.

Canadian Hemlock, or Hemlock 

 Spruce, is one of our handsomest native 

 evergreens. 



Canadian Hemlock 



A native American tree of which 

 everyone should be proud. It grows 

 naturally from Canada to Alabama, 

 forming dense forests of valuable tim- 

 ber. In 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, 

 but changing to deep green at maturity. 

 The Hemlocks thrive best in a moist 

 situation and in groups. A mature tree 

 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 Arborvitaes 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
