Use Hemlocks For Their Graceful, Handsome Foliage 
HEMLOCKS — A Leading Specialty 
at Barr’s 
The Hemlock with its graceful branches, and beau- 
tiful, neat, needle foliage can well be made the basis 
of many fine plantings. Its informality of outline is 
particularly pleasing. On the open lawn it makes a 
handsome specimen, but wherever planted it is never 
out of place. Will remain small many years if 
sheared regularly. 
TSUGA canadensis, 60-80 ft. 
Canada Hemlock 
The soft, feathery, dark green, fernlike foliage of 
the Canada Hemlock will give a softening touch 
to any planting, and combined with its gracefully 
spreading branches makes of it a magnificent tree. 
It is the State Tree of Pennsylvania. For speci- 
men planting or in groups on the open lawn, or 
for hedges. ,

When Building A New Home 
It is advisable to budget 2 to 3 percent for landscaping. Real estate men agree an investment of 3 
percent of the cost of the house in Evergreens, Trees, and Shrubs increases the value at least 10 per cent and 
your enjoyment of your home to an immeasurable extent. 
At the very beginning of operations put aside the amount you purpose spending for landscaping. With- 
out good landscaping a house gives the appearance of “something wanting.” or not being finished.

The excavation for planting should be considerably larger and 
deeper than the encased roots so as to allow liberal space around 
the ball for filling in with good soil. Do not remove burlap, only 
loosen it at top and roll back as indicated in illustration. Care- 
fully pack soil under earth ball. Mix peat moss and rotted ma- 
nure, or Vigoro with soil used for back fill. When hole is two- 
thirds refilled, FLOOD WITH WATER.
