EVERGREEN 



T. cuspidata. Flat Form. This is grown from the side branches of the above and 

 makes aflat topped, spreading plant, perhaps 8 ft. high in thrity years. The plants we 

 offer now will be just what you want to give the much desired horizontal lines in your 

 landscape composition. See the foundation of the house on page 36; this 

 variety will produce the results shown. No better present could be given on your own 

 place or your friends than foundation planting including the Japanese Yew. They 

 can be planted during the holidays. As a substitute for box border you can clip these 

 to a perfect line 4 in. high or higher. Come to the nursery, select these Japanese 

 Yew and re-arrange the planting around your home to take the place of the old 

 plants that have grown too big. It will be like re-decorating the interior of 

 your house. Perhaps, you have bought a place where the foundation of the 

 house was smothered with bushes, and you need green plants that will stay low.

THUYA occiden talis. American Arbor Vitce. Old-time gardens were frequently 

 planted with Arbor Vitas, a species native from Maine westward. It is easily trans- 

 planted because of its numerous fibrous roots; makes a columnar tree 15 ft. high, 8 ft. 

 broad, with yellow-green foliage. Is not as cheerful in Winter as the Pines and 

 Spruce because of its changing to dull or bronze color.

HEMLOCK 



The most graceful native evergreen. A few wild ones are scattered through the 

 woods of Lond Island, indicating that they like it best to be in company with other 

 trees. Plant them on the interior of your groves of Pines and Spruce; thin out the 

 monotonous line of shrubs and add Hemlock for Winter beauty and screen; keep the 

 shrubs cut back so there is 3 ft. of open space all around, then the Hemlocks will be 

 perfectly happy. Plant them through the woods to relieve the monotony. Don't ex- 

 pect them to stand alone on a bare plateau where the Pitch Pine and Oak should be the 

 pioneers. Our stock is unusually good for hedges. These may be planted 3-5 ft. apart. 



TSUGA canadensis. American Hemlock. 



3 ft. high $4.00 each, $35.00 per 10, $300.00 per 100 



4 ft. high 6.00 each, 55.00 per 10, 500.00 per 100 



There is a Hemlock hedge fifty years old, 13 ft. high, we moved to our 

 nursery. It is better than a wall and will make a magnificent background for a 

 flower garden, surround a forecourt and separate it from the service court or shut 

 off the street. We wish to examine carefully the place where it is proposed to plant it 

 because it is too rare and choice to be starved. It can be safely planted this Winter.
