Better Evergreen Trees 11 
THUJA - Arbor-Vitae 
Arbor-Vitaes are formal yet attractive evergreens of greatly di' 
versified form and coloring, varying in height from low, cushion- 
like plants to lofty trees, varying in color from dark green to golden 
yellow. Such variety adapts them for many positions in landscape 
planting; their narrow pyramidal, columnar or globosa forms making 
them invaluable in the foundation planting. Many types make dense 
green hedges either for tall screens or for outlining garden areas. 
Thriving in full sun or partial shade, in any good garden soil, they 
lend themselves to so many purposes that they really are indispensable 
in garden making.

TSUGA - Hemlock 
Many people will agree that the Hemlock is the most graceful 
and the best loved evergreen tree of eastern North America. Cer¬ 
tainly, no evergreen tree can compare in dignity and beauty, one or 
several of them bending under the winter snow, creating a never-to- 
be-forgotten picture. They thrive well in full sun, partial shade, or 
dense shade, preferring plenty of moisture, and as they mature they 
assume a magnificent stateliness equaled by few other trees. 
Tsuga canadensis. Canada Hemlock. 80 ft. (Lr.) The Hemlock is the 
finest North American evergreen, and is always a source of joy and 
satisfaction to those who plant it freely. It makes a broad pyram¬ 
idal, medium-sized tree of dense growth, with rich green foliage 
and more or less drooping branches, giving a particularly graceful 
effect to the whole. It is excellent as a single lawn tree, for foun¬ 
dation plantings when it is young, for hedge purposes, while as a 
dark green background for Dogwoods or Hawthorns it is unsur¬ 
passed. Each 10 Each 10
