Hemlock  Spruce  is  the  most  graceful  of  all  the  coniferous  ever- 
greens. It  is  valuable  either  for  single  specimens,  to  form  groups  on  the 
law^n,  or  to  be  used  as  a  hedge  plant.  We  have  a  great  stock  in  the  sizes 
from  2  to  3/^  feet.    See  page  19. 
Rosters  "Blue  Spruce^  an  especially  fine  variety  of  the  Colorado 
Blue  Spruce,  is  a  tree  of  most  notable  beauty.  Our  specimens,  from 
2  to  3  >^  feet,  are  shapely  and  good,  and  of  the  richest  light  blue  hue.

Tree  Box,  trained  to  either  the  BUSH  or  PYRAMIDAL  form,  is  now- 
used  to  give  certain  formal  effects,  for  which  its  hardiness  and  evergreen 
foliage  make  it  especially  suitable.    We  have  a  fine  stock.    See  page  24. 
Dwarf  Box  for  edging  is  again  largely  used.  Our  stock  is  first- 
class.    See  page  24. 
Retinosporas  are  perhaps  the  most  elegant  in  appearance  of  any  of  the 
coniferous  evergreens.  Their  feathery  foliage  and  distinct  coloring  both 
recommend  them.  AUREA,  of  a  fine  golden  effect ;  Plumosa,  with  deli- 
cate twigs,  and  SquaRROSA,  a  form  of  a  blue  tinge,  are  among  the  best.
