FRINGE TREE 
This most beautiful tree is frequently considered 
a shrub as it seldom grows more than 30 feet in 
height and usually with a divided trunk. Because 
of its masses of white blossoms it has several com- 
mon names: Old Man’s Beard, Grandfather’s Beard, 
and Snow Flower Tree. It prefers the rich soil of 
stream banks and transplants readily.

HEMLOCK, Canada 
This glorious tree is the most graceful of all ever- 
greens, growing to a height of 100 feet with a trunk 
sometimes 4 feet in diameter and ranges naturally 
from Canada throughout most of the New England 
States and along the Appalachin Regions into 
Georgia, westward, extending well over Michigan 
and Wisconsin. It transplants readily almost any 
size and is particularly desirable because it will 
grow in locations too shady for most other ever- 
green trees.
