The Firs and Hemlocks 
T HESE vigorous upright trees are the most glorious in our coniferous forests. The needles are not stiff as with a spruce, 
but soft and flattened and, better yet, the Hemlock and the Firs are much longer lived—retaining even their lowest 
branches to a ripe old age in the proper situation. Most Firs like dry soil—well drained and the Hemlock likes shelter from 
heavy winds. They are both very quick growing. Unsurpassed for single specimens or for massed plantings.

The green list inside the front cover should not be overlooked. Fine young plants are 
priced there for economy. They are not, of course, shapely cared-for specimens as are 
the trees on these pages, but will in time become so. Write us for species or varieties 
not listed. We can usually quote.
