caroliniana. CAROLINA HemLOCK. 
Introduced by Harlan 1*. Kelsey in 1884, it has 
become known to tree lovers as the most 
distinctive and gracclul of all conifers which 
are hardy throughout the entire United States. 
Its dense, dark foliage, sweeping semi-pendu- 
lous branches, and eventually pyramidal form, 
combine to give a charm not found in any other 
evergreen known to cultivation. It is much 
hardier and more adaptable to city atmos- 
pheres than its plainer sister, the Canadian 
Hemlock, and will also thrive in southern 
latitudes where the latter becomes thin, yellow 
and unsightly. 
It is the "coming evergreen" for the finest 
landscape plantings, either as a single specimen 
or for mass eiTects and backgrounds and for 
hedges. 
After the disastrous spring and winter of 1917- 
18, Prof. C. S. Sargent, Director of Arnold 
Arboretum, says of this tree: "Numerous 
specimens of the Carolina Hemlock (Tsuga 
caroliniana) have been (minjured by the cold 
and drought of the year. This is one of the 
handsomest of all cone-bearing trees which 
can be grown in this part of the country.'* 
And, again, in the Nov. 10, 1919, Bulletin of 
the Arnold Arboretum: "Tlie handsomest of 
the Hemlocks which can be grown in Massa- 
chusetts and now one of the most beautiful 
trees in the Arboretum is a native of the 
Southern Appalachian Mountains, — Tsuga 
caroliniana." At Boxford-Highlands Nursery 
may be seen large blocks of the Carolina Hem- 
lock, all specimens regardless of size.
