A CLASS our Native American Evergreens are, without question, far beyond 
comparison with those of foreign countries, possessing as they do unri- 
valed characteristics of gracefulness, color and often grandeur. Our 
Alleghany region is rich in beautiful forms, while the western and 
Pacific states swell the list with a large number of rare and elegant 
species. We would call especial attention to the rare Carolina Hemlock 
(Tsuga carol'miana) offered below, which we introduced to cultivation. 
The sizes folloiving the names indicate the "variation in heights 
attained by the trees in their -wild state. Under culti'valion they usually
