T HIS grand tree has more uses than any evergreen we sell. 
The fact that it grows rather rapidly as evergreens go, can 
be pruned to almost any shape desired, will tolerate both sun 
and shade, good color winter and summer and graceful, has made 
it a standout. 
While Hemlocks prefer a good, rich, moist soil, they will grow 
almost anywhere. Keep well watered immediately after trans¬ 
planting. 
We have one of the largest and finest stocks in the entire 
country. We have a saying, "When in doubt plant a Hemlock." 
FOUNDATION PLANTING. Few trees are better adapted to founda¬ 
tion work than the Hemlock. While it will sometimes grow rather 
large if not restrained by pruning, it still can be kept within bounds 
very easily. They can be shaped into columnar, pyramidal or 
globular forms. Their graceful soft foliage is usually of good color 
and the trees will stand city conditions very well. While they prefer 
good soil they will grow almost anywhere both in shade or sun if 
given a reasonable amount of moisture. 
SPECIMEN. As a specimen many consider Hemlock the handsomest 
evergreen in Eastern North America. Certainly there are few which 
preserve for a long time the grace, dignity, and beauty of the 
entire tree from base to tip as the Hemlock. Small or large, they 
are beautiful. If permitted to grow with little or no pruning the 
pendulous twigs drooping from the rather horizontal branches give 
it a form which is dignified yet graceful. Yes, as a specimen we 
recommend a Hemlock.

Every Evergreen has been 
transplanted to increase the 
root-system, and sheared to 
make it compact. Height

ness and shapeliness, nor

HEDGE. While a great many plants have been used from time to time 
in making hedges, there is none for all-round purposes which is 
superior to the Hemlock. Its rich green color in winter or summer, 
softness of texture, compactness, hardiness, ability to thrive in 
shade or open exposure, freedom from disease are some of its out¬ 
standing qualities. In the past Hemlocks have been rather ex¬ 
pensive to use for this purpose, but we have grown them by the 
thousands, and now have what we believe is as fine a stock as can 
be found in the United States. Our trees have been several times 
transplanted, and every one is a specimen. Can furnish in heights 
of from 2 to 10 feet. Write for prices, giving distance to be 
planted, and we shall be pleased to quote special prices. 
SCREEN. While Hemlocks are usually not so rapid in growth as the 
Pines and Spruce, they will soon develop into large compact trees. 
If given good soil and ample moisture, a screen of Hemlock will 
soon surprise and delight the most fastidious. There is nothing 
more beautiful or satisfactory than a planting of Hemlock, be it 
a single row, large masses, a small cluster or even a single tree.
