The Cedars 
BLUE VIRGINIA {Juniperus virginiana glauca). A variety of the Virginia 
Cedar, but with far more beautiful foliage than the older type. The color 
is dark bluish green, and is brought out to the best advantage when shown 
against a background of dark green trees or shrubs. The foliage has the 
same pungent, fragrant odor as the older familiar Cedar. This variety makes 
a splendid specimen tree for lawn plantings, for screens between the house 
and service yard, or for low windbreaks. It is seldom advisable to plant 
any variety of Cedars near an apple orchard, but there are so many other 
uses that the trees are almost indispensable. We have given special atten¬ 
tion to the Cedars in our nursery, with the result that the trees we now have 
are worthy of being classed as “specimens.” They are shapely, well 
branched, and have been root-pruned and transplanted, thus forming a 
large ball of roots. We are sure they will please all of our customers.

Canadian Hemlock, or Hemlock 
Spruce, is one of our handsomest native 
evergreens. 
Canadian Hemlock 
A native American tree of which 
everyone should be proud. It grows 
naturally from Canada to Alabama, 
forming dense forests of valuable tim¬ 
ber. In open landscapes the Hemlock 
is a most beautiful tree. The main 
branches grow almost straight from the 
trunk, while the branehlets droop grace¬ 
fully, giving the entire tree an appear¬ 
ance entirely distinct from other ever¬ 
greens. The foliage is narrow and 
feathery, light green when first showing, 
but changing to deep green at maturity. 
The Hemlocks thrive best in a moist 
situation and in groups. A mature tree 
will reach 60 feet in height, and in 
favored places some specimens may grow 
to 90 or 100 feet. The Canadian Hem¬ 
lock, or Hemlock Spruce, is almost as 
valuable as the Arborvitaes for hedges, 
screens, and windbreaks. For massing 
around the house foundations it is ex¬ 
tremely valuable, but in such a position 
the trees should be trimmed to make a 
dense growth. Each 10 100
