HABDT AMERICAN ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 
Varieties. 
HARDY EVERGREEN TREES, continued. 
Finns australis (uoug-leaf Yellow Pine). GO to 
75 ft. The well known timber and tar Pine 
of the lower Southern states. The small 
plants present a most surprisingly tropical 
appearance, with the light green, 15 to 20-inch 
long leaves of annual growth clustered perpen- 
dicularly on the ends of the shoots like a broom, 
and bearing a strikingly singular contrast to 
the leaves of the previous year's growth, 
which are dark green and droop gracefully 
downward. 
Finns rigida (Black or Pitch Pine). 30 to 50 ft. 
The straggling growth of this Pine prevents 
its extensive use as an ornamental, though as 
a single lawn tree it is quite effective. 
Frnnns Caroliniana (Cherry-Laurel). 20 to 30 ft. 
This much admired tree is quite commonly 
used in the South as a fine ornamental. The 
white flowers are profuse and showy, and 
present a fine effect, with the always pleas- 
ing aspect of the glossy, serrate leaves. As 
it is not perfectly hardy in our mountains, 
however, we cannot recommend its extensive 
planting north of lower Maryland. 
Tsnga Canadensis (Hemlock). 50 to 100 ft. Con- 
sidered by eminent authorities to be the most 
beautiful of all American conifers; rich and 
delicate foliage, drooping branches and dense 
habit. 
TsugaCaroliniana(Carolina Hemlock). 40 to 50ft. 
This magnificent new Hemlock, introduced 
by us, we place without hesitation in the 
foremost rank as an ornamental. It pos- 
sesses a distinct pyramidal growth, which, with 
its exceedingly dense, dark foliage and alto- 
gether graceful effect demand for it in land- 
scape work a place that can be filled hy no 
other of it» clast. While it is very difficult to 
transplant direct from its native habitat
