Biota orientalis —ORIENTAL ARBORVITAE 
The common Oriental Arborvitae (Biota orientalis) 
we have discontinued growing because it has proven 
generally unsatisfactory. It also suffers frequently 
from winter injury. In its place we suggest American 
Arborvitae (page 13) or better still the pyramidal 
types of Junipers (pages 9 and 10), all native trees of 
proven value and hardiness. 
The Graceful Hemlock Unexcelled for Specimen 
Planting or Hedge Purposes 
On the open lawn the Hemlock, acclaimed the most beautiful of American evergreens, 
is an outstandingly handsome specimen. Will remain small many years if sheared. Ideal 
for hedges, growing increasingly beautiful every year. 
HEMLOCK—Pennsylvania State Tree. 
The Hemlock is graceful in habit, and its distinct, 
small foliage is of a pleasing shade of green. It endures 
shade better than some of the other trees and stands 
clipping readily. 
Tsuga —HEMLOCK 
Soft, feathery foliage on graceful branches 
sweeping the ground. Excellent in shade. 
Desires cool, moist soil. Very hardy. 
T. canadensis —CANADA HEMLOCK. Gracefully 
spreading and somewhat drooping branches. 
Shade enduring. For specimen planting or in 
groups, or can be used for clipped hedges.
