WESTBURY STATION, N. Y, 
Evergreen Trees 
HEMLOCK SPRUCE. T SUga, erroneously Abies 
The Hemlocks are very ornamental as single specimens on the lawn and of much utilitarian value in, 
the formation of hedges and screens. They are not particular as to soil, but require considerable moisture. 
Common. T. Canadensis. This tree, native to 
Long Island forests, is perhaps the most grace- 
ful evergreen. It will keep the broad sweep of 
its lower branches until old age, and winter or 
summer no evergreen excels the purity of its 
color. Occasional trimming to produce compact 
growth, or grouping with other trees, prevents the 
foliage from whipping off in windy situations. It 
will not stand salt spray ; but enduring shade, it 
should be extensively planted in and along the 
borders of woodland. It serves well for screen- 
ing purposes. It is the most beautiful of hedge 
trees, — when clipped, closely resembling the fa- 
mous Yew hedges of England. We offer trees 
up to 25 feet high, and a Hemlock hedge 400 feet 
long, 30 years old, 9 feet high and wide, prepared 
for successful planting. 
Sargent's Weeping. T. Canadensis, var. pendula. 
This forms a flat-topped plant about 5 feet high 
and twice as broad, with densely clothed branches 
arching gracefully outward. 
Japanese. T. Sieboldi. This evergreen has thicker 
leaves than the native species, and promises to 
stand more exposure. 
Carolina. T. Caroliniana. While more open in 
habit and lighter in color than the native Hem- 
lock, it forms a graceful lawn ornament. 
Hemlock hedge at Westbury Nurseries. We have 400 feet of similar hedge, 9x9 feet, prepared for moving. The only oppor- 
tunity to reproduce the effect of the old Yew hedges of England. 
JUNIPER. Juniperus 
The tall-growing Junipers are noted for the artistic effect they give to a landscape, while the low- 
growing varieties are valuable as ground covering in places where other shrubs or grass will not grow. 
Irish. /. communis, var. Hibernica. A narrow, Golden. /. communis, var. Canaaensis aurea. A 
columnar tree of light green. It is liable to 
winter-kill in part here. 
Swedish. J. communis, var. Suecica. Similar in 
form to the above, but broader and hardier ; 
color light bluish green.' 
Flat. /. communis, var. Canadensis. This is the 
familiar evergreen bush which clothes the rocky 
hillsides of New England and a few parts of 
Long Island. It spreads over an area 10 to 25 
feet in diameter and 3 to 4 feet in height, form- 
ing a mass of graceful upward curving branches 
of bright green foliage. It is very good for 
wild hillside planting and foregrounds. 
Golden. J. communis, var. Canaaensis aurea. 
brilliant golden mat 2 feet high. 
Savin. J. Sabina, A prostrate shrub, growing 
3 to 5 feet high, with long, stiff, outward-pointed 
branches of dark green. 
Prostrate, or Trailing. J. Sabina, var. prostrata. 
This forms a mossy carpet, tempting to walk up- 
on. It grows as a cushion, 10 inches deep, or its 
long trailing branches hug the rocks and hang 
over the top of a wall or the crest of a surf-beaten 
cliff. It may be attractively used as a border to 
a path, to screen a man-hole cover on the lawn, 
or to cover ground too dry for grass. A rare 
plant that should be better known.
