Hardy Evergreen Trees. 
As a class, our Native American Evergreens are without doubt far beyond comparison with those of foreign 
countries, possessing unrivalled characteristics of gracefulness, grandeur or color. Our Alleghany region, while 
claiming possibly fewer species than the Western and Pacific states, is yet rich in beautiful forms, and we can 
boast of at least one distinct new species of conifer, found nowhere else, and here only very locally, namely, the 
Carolina Hemlock {Tsuga Caroliniana). Below we give a short description of each in proper order :

ILEX OPACA (American HoUy). 
This is without doubt one of the most beautiful and indispensable of all evergreens in landscape work. The 
growth is thick and heavy, assuming a dense, picturesque, cone shape, while the sharp, prickly foliage is always in 
most beautiful contrast to the surrounding leafage or the winter aspect °f '^wn and park, as well as forming a con- 
spicuous background for the brilliant scarlet berries which cover it in fall and early winter. This beautiful Holly
