HEMLOCK. For extensive planting of large-growing 
Evergreens, we find the White Pine, White Spruce 
and Hemlock certain to make large, noble, old 
trees. They are native trees, well tested. Most 
foreign varieties cannot be depended upon to 
retain their beauty after 25 or 50 years. The Hem- 
lock is the most graceful native Evergreen, with a 
dark, pure green color all winter. For hedges it 
is superior in color to any other Evergreen used 
for that purpose. In bleak localities the outside 
leaves are whipped off in winter, unless they are 
planted with othertrees, or are previously trimmed 
to solid form. Large specimens in stock. For 
illustration, see page 16. 
JUNIPER, Irish. A small columnar light green 
tree. After a few years it becomes ragged. 
Trailing" Plat Cedar {Juniperus communis). 
This forms a saucer-shaped mass of foliage 3 feet 
high and 15 feet wide. A useful species for pic- 
turesque planting on hillsides, and it may also be 
used for borders to larger groups. The foliage is 
light green, glaucous on the under side. 
PINE, White. For description, see under cut, 
page 16. 
Excelsa (Bhotan Pine). A Himalayan species, 
closely resembling the White Pine. The leaves 
are long, steel blue and pendulous. A unique and 
beautiful lawn tree, which has proved itself hardy 
and long-lived. 
Austrian {Pinus Austriaca). A vigorous and 
hardy species, with long, coarse leaves. This and 
the red cedar are the best for withstanding the 
salt spray hear the ocean or sound. See illustra- 
tion on page 15. 
WHITE PINE, showing fibrous roots produced by root- 
pruning:. 
RETINOSPORA OBTUSA NANA. 
(Dwarf Japan Cypress.) 
This is the variety which the Japanese grow in pots for 
a century. A wierd little tree of irregular, picturesque 
growth, and black-green foliage. 
FINE, Red, or Norway {Pinus resinosa). A tall 
native tree, with long, dark green leaves. 
Mug\ho {Pinus mughus). The Dwarf Mountain 
Pine from the Alps has a unique place that cannot 
be filled by any other tree. It is a broad, dome- 
shaped bush of dark green color, growing 8 feet 
high and 15 feet broad. For planting on bare hill- 
sides, cliffs near the salt water, terrace banks, or 
on small lawns, it is well adapted. 
Swiss Stone {Pinus Cembra). The color closely 
resembles the blue-green of the White Pine, but is 
lighter. It forms a small, narrow tree of compact, 
slow growth. 
RETINOSPORA (Japan Cypress). Developed by 
the skillful Japanese gardeners into wide varia- 
tion of tints and variegation, combined with deli- 
cate fern-like spray, they make a beautiful group, 
either alone or with other Evergreens, and bright- 
barked shrubs. They are suitable for the smallest 
lawns, or for winter decoration in tubs and pots. 
Some varieties, as R. obtusa and R. viridis, are 
large-growing. We have many kinds not listed. 
Flumosa viridis. This is a broad pyramidal bush, 
with feathery, clear green foliage. Of this rapid- 
growing variety we have plants 4 to 7 feet high, 
and equally wide. 
Flumosa aurea (Golden Japan Cypress). The 
favorite golden-foliaged Evergreen, as it is hardy 
and vigorous. Large plants in stock. 
Pilifera pendula (Weeping Japan Cypress). This 
forms a wide cone of delicate foliage, with thread- 
like filaments curving gracefully from the tips of 
the branches. It is very distinct.
