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. 
Canada Hemlock. Tsuga canadensis. 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, pyramidal, medium sized tree of dense growth, with rich 
green foliage and more or less drooping branches, giving a par- 
ticularly graceful effect to the whole. It is excellent as a single 
lawn tree, for foundation plantings when it is young, for hedge 
purposes, while as a dark green background for Dogwoods or 
Hawthorns it is unsurpassed.
