Seedling and Transplant Stock 

An infinite variety of effects can be achieved by combining 
species of evergreens. 
Each of the two Hemlock hedges, shown in photo at right, 
was planted with transplant stock, in double rows 12 inches apart, 
the trees being 8 to 10 inches apart in each row. By annual shearing 
this hedge has been kept to a size of 18 inches for the past eight 
years, and can be kept the same height for a number of years to 
come. 
Note trees to the right of the doorway. The low tree is a 
Spreading Japanese Yew. Immediately back of, and to the right, an 
Upright Yew is shown. The tall tree nearest the doorway is an 
American Arborvitae.

one of the finest of ornamental trees. It is sturdy, 
symmetrical and compact in form, ranging in color 
from slightly blue-green to marvelous blue. It thrives 
in moist rich soil and prefers sunlight. Growth is slow. 
The blueness of these trees may be intensified by care- 
fully working a thin layer of well rotted cow manure 
into the surface of the soil around the tree, and water- 
ing frequently. Care should be exercised in the use 
of this fertilizer.

plantings, it offers the highest quality in a Christmas 
tree. Thus it is often advisable to include a quantity 
of Blue Spruce in a plantation for special premium 
trees. Shearing is recommended.
