HEMLOCK 
Tsuga canadensis (American Hemlock) 
“Most graceful of all Evergreens” is the title so often bestowed on 
the Hemlock. Certain it is that few Evergreens can claim the charms 
of this tree, both in youth and in its elder years. Its long branches 
droop gracefully to the ground, and the branchlets bend willingly to 
the breeze. The common shape of the tree is conical, tapering evenly 
from a broad base to a long, straight, thrifty shoot. Most trees have a 
single main stem, but low, wide-spreading trees may have several stems. 
In cultivation, when planted by itself in the open, it will develop 
a height of 25 feet or more with a spread of branches 10 or 12 feet 
wide. It is most often used in connection with other trees, when the 
growth is retarded a great deal. It is not wise to plant the Hemlock 
in open, dry, windswept places. It likes the north side of buildings, a 
partially shaded hillside or a partly protected spot. 
The needles are soft and delicate, not more than ^4 to ^4 inch long. 
Mahonia acquifolium (Oregon Grape) 
Also known as Holly-leaved Barberry. Small spiny toothed leaves, 
dark lustrous green, changing to bronze and reddish hues. In the winter 
has blue or nearly black berries. A low shrub. Evergreen in most 
localities.
