Zbnc ]Vfatr*>e evergreens* 
ONE must be devoid of even ordinary appreciation of Nature's beauty as expressed in 
woodland scenery not to have been impressed with the grandeur of a grove of our 
noble white pine, a ravine of hemlocks, or the forests of white spruce the latter 
dominating the scenery throughout many parts of the north. While these trees are objects 
which demand our admiration and are as well timber trees of commercial importance, these 
fine trees are also of utmost value to the planter who wishes to plant out trees which will 
produce interesting and permanent effects. They will thrive almost anywhere provided 
the ground is well drained. We have an immense stock to select from of many sizes up 
to large specimens. 
Cdblte pine (Pinus Strobus.) 
The grandest of our native evergreens and esteemed even in Europe for its great 
beauty. While it grows to be a large timber tree in time it is always beautiful from 
babyhood up. The small trees in the Nursery appeal to one with their soft pleasing green 
foliage and as they develop they are always graceful and effective and finally, where 
opportunity affords, they assume in the grandeur of full development very characteristic 
outlines, such as appeal to the artist. It is also a valuable timber tree and many a hillside 
now of no special value either for its beauty or utility could be planted to white pines 
which would not only develop into a feature of beauty but eventually represent a material 
asset. Our stock of this splendid evergreen is very large and for forestry planting we can 
offer them by the thousands at very low prices. The following prices are for very carefully 
grown stock, frequently transplanted and given every opportunity to develop individually so 
as to make fine specimens for planting,

Hmerkan Remlock (Tsuga Canadensis.) 
Practically everyone is familiar with the graceful beauty of our native hemlock. Its 
pendant branches and soft deep green foliage appeals favorably to us all. It is one of the 
very few evergreens that grows well in the shade of other trees; in fact, it often seems to 
reach its most beautiful development under these conditions. For general lawn and land- 
scape planting this hemlock lends itself in more ways than perhaps any other evergreen. 
As a specimen, in groups or for free planting throughout a woodland it is always beautiful. 
We have a large stock of the medium size plants and a fair supply of the larger sizes.

CHblte Spruce (Picea Alba.) 
This fine compact native spruce resembles the well-known Norway Spruce in general 
appearance excepting that it is much more compact and a slower grower. It is also very 
much hardier, withstanding without injury even in the most exposed places, the severest 
winds. It makes a very nice specimen tree and is especially recommendable for hedges 
and windbreaks. We have a fine stock to offer which has been allowed ample room for 
development, having been frequently root pruned.

evergreen foliage. By occasional trimming the plants can be kept within almost any 
required bounds indefiniteV.
