growing to a height of 40 to 50 feet, and 2 feet in diameter ; found only in 
the Carolina mountains at 2,000 to 5,000 feet elevation ; foliage heavier and 
darker than the common hemlock ; leaves larger and cones with wide-spread-

be well mulched the first season. A magnificent new evergreen, and very scarce.
