would probably be hardy in the extreme South. The large [lowers are borne in greatest profusion.

TSUGA canadensis. Hemlock. 50 to 100 ft. It can be a stately lawn tree, a wide-spreading shrub or a hedge 
plant, and in each place it hardly has an equal. 
TSUGA CAROLINTANA. Carolina HEMLOCK. 40 to 80 ft. This grand new Hemlock, intro¬ 
duced by us, possesses a distinct pyramidal growth and attains a height of 40 to 80 ft. Its dense, 
dark foliage and graceful habit are*approached only by some of the finer Japanese Hemlocks, 
which it somewhat resembles. Some fine specimens, nearly 20 feet high, arc to be seen in the 
Arnold Arboretum, and are the first plants of this Hemlock ever sent out, being supplied by us to 
Prof. C. S Sargent, director, in 1884.
