TSUGA.  HEMLOCK 
Hemlock  Spruce 
Tsuga  Canadensis.  (M)  A  magnificent  native 
tree  that  grows  rapidly  in  most  any  soil  and  is  very 
hardy.  If  allowed  sun-light,  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  beauty 
that  its  slender,  graceful  branches  alone  possess.  It 
will  withstand  wind  and  exposure,  and  therefore  is 
suited  for  shelter-belts  and  wind-breaks,  as  well  as  in 
all  mass  plantings  of  large  evergreens.  Hemlocks 
succeed  well  in  almost  any  soil,  but  prefer  most  a 
good  loam  that  is  moist  rather  than  too  dry.  Hem- 
locks withstand  shearing  so  well  and  become  so 
dense  and  compact  when  subjected  to  that  treatment, 
that  they  may  be  used  wherever  a  small  tree  is 
wanted,  or  in  hedges.  For  this  purpose  no  other  ever- 
green is  better  adapted,  because  it  becomes  impene- 
trable as  well  as  neat  and  attracti\  e,  and  may  be 
kept  low  or  allowed  to  grow  into  tall  hedges  or 
screens.

EVERGREEN  SHRUBS 
HESE  "Broad-Leaved  Evergreens"  are  being  used  more  and  more  each  year,  because 
they  are  so  desirable  and  effective  in  all  landscape  work.  Their  heavy  leaf  masses 
meet  the  demand  for  fresh  green  foliage  to  enliven  and  cheer  the  bare  aspect  of  de- 
ciduous trees  and  shrubs  in  Winter.  But  best  of  all  is  the  magnificent  display  that 
most  of  them  make  when  in  bloom,  especially  the  Rhododendrons  and  Kalmias. 
Another  desirable  quality  most  of  them  have  is  a  fondness  for  shady  places,  so  that 
they  meet  a  large  demand  in  beautifying  these  spots,  which  are  usually  thought  so 
difficult  to  adorn.  As  a  rule,  they  transplant  easily,  are  quite  hardy,  give  immediate 
results  and  are  altogether  very  satisfactory  plants  to  use.

groups  of  broad-leaved  evergreens,  or  in  shaded 
places.
