PINUS pungens (Table Mountain Pine). The cones of this pine re- 
main on the branches for years, and being each season re-inforced 
by a new crop, very soon give the tree an odd and striking appear- 
ance. Quite an ornamental tree, which should be in every collec- 
tion. 6 to 12 inch 20

of all our native pines, will bear the shears well, and becomes a

^isS^i^ TSUa-Aoanadensis(Hemlock). 
Perhaps the finest of all our 
native conifers. Its rich deli- 
cate foliage, d r o op i n g 
branches and dense habit 
place it without a peer as a 
single lawn tree. '' It can be 
a stately lawn tree, a wide- 
spreading shrub or a most 
effective hedge plant, as you 
choose to make it ; yet in place 
of this matchless evergreen, 
. we have imported the coarse 
i'^ Norway Spruce and the still 
coarser Scotch and Austrian 
Pines, as our grandfathers im- 
ported the miserable and 
short-lived Lombardy Poplar, 
than which they could have
