By planting a group like this you shut out your neighbor's idle gaze, soften the bare antiular lines of his d\N elling, 

 and border your own property with a highly decorative grouping, that in addition to green foliage affords opportunity 

 for the enjoyment of an uninterrupted succession of bloom. May we help you to get a planting from which as 

 much pleasure may be had ? 



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 windbreaks, as well as in all mass plantings of large evergreens. Hemlocks suc- 

 ceed 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.
