TSUGA 
canadensis —Canada Hemlock. 
Eastern North America. While formerly used only for its bark as source of 
tannery extract, Hemlock, with the growing scarcity of the more valuable timber 
trees, now is being extensively cut for its timber. Unsurpassed as an ornamenbtal 
it is one of the finest of native American Evergreens. A splendid shelter plant 
for game and bird reservations. 
caroliniana —Carolina Hemlock. 
One of our choicest native evergreens, often preferred to the former, growing 
slower and more compact but not quite as hardy. Seed is scarce and not avail¬ 
able every season. 
diversifolia —Japanese Hemlock. 
The hardiest of the two Japanese Hemlocks; doing well in New England. An 
exceedingly graceful ornamental of compact proportions with dark green foliage. 
heterophylla —Western Hemlock. 
Pacific Coast States; an important timber tree producing wood of tetter 
quality than the Canadian Hemlock. 
mertensiana —Mountain Hemlock. 
An alpine tree of the Pacific high mountain country. Quite different in habit 
from other Hemlocks and with bluish-green foliage. Extremely rugged and 
wind-resistant. On the rim of Crater Lake in Oregon, 7000 feet high, where 
Pine grows only as straggly bushes, fine specimens, much like the Cedar of 
Lebanon in habit, are found. This noble tree deserves widest attention and 
should be tried out thoroughly by nurserymen. Seed is always scarce and 
orders should be placed early. 
sieboldi —Siebold Hemlock. 
Another Hemlock from Japan but not quite as hardy as diversifolia. 
WASHINGTONIA —Washington Palm. 
The only Palm native to California. A fast growing desert plant; to 70 feet tall; 
able to thrive where no other trees succeed without irrigation. Recommended 
for planting in the Southwest. Two species are offered.
