MOON'S EVERGREENS 



A sunken garden on the P. A. B. Widener estate, near Philadelphia, that has been extensively planted with a general assortment 



of Moon's Evergreens. — Wm. Kleinheinz, Sup't. 



Tsuga. Hemlock 



TSUGA CANADENSIS. (M). A magnificent native tree that grows rapidly and is very hardy. 

 If allowed sunlight 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 mostly a good loam that is moist rather than too dry. Hemlocks 

 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 evergreen is better 

 adapted, because it becomes impenetrable as well as neat and attractive, and may be kept low or allowed 

 to grow into tall hedges or screens. For this purpose it rivals the famous Yews of England.
