Tsuga mertensiana (Mountain Hemlock} 
This magnificent conifer is native of the Cascade mountains of western United 
States and Canada. In its natural habitat it is seldom found below an elevation 
of 3000 feet except in the more northern areas and braves the cold to timber 
line. In the loftier situations it becomes very slender and alpine in habit of 
growth and often verges into a pleasing blue. While native to the colder, more 
rugged areas, it thrives at the lower levels. Lovely either in groups or as speci- 
men trees. The hemlocks as a whole are a most beautiful group of evergreens 
but the Mountain Hemlock may be said to be the handsomest of them all and 
is usually considered to be the West’s most beautiful alpine conifer.

Umbellularia californica (Oregon Myrtle) (California Laurel) 
A handsome hardy evergreen tree, 25 to 30 feet in height and reaching 75 feet. 
Native of southern Oregon and northern California where it reaches its greatest 
perfection of growth along the streams and valleys of the coast range. The tree 
is conical in form and the leaves are highly aromatic. Well adapted to hedges. 
Sargent has described the Myrtle as “one of the stateliest and most beautiful 
inhabitants of North American forests, and no evergreen tree of temperate reg- 
ions surpasses it in the beauty of its dark dense crown of lustrous foliage.”

Vaccinium parvifolium (Red Huckleberry) 
A lovely deciduous shrub native of western Oregon. Foliage dainty, bright green, 
turning to dazzling shades of red and bronze in autumn. Does well in either 
sun or shade. Bark is red and in the spring the new buds give the plant a red 
sheen. Flowers pink and attractive, followed in summer by a great profusion 
of bright red berries. These though acid are edible and used for jelly making. 
Its habit of growth, fine foliage, bright red buds and twigs, dainty flowers and 
showy red berries combine to make this shrub a splendid landscape subject. 
Very rare in the nursery trade. Hardy.

Veronica cupressoides nana 
A very dense dwarf growing into a shapely 3 foot globe without pruning. Also 
desirable for its bright green plumelike foliage which taken with its compact 
symmetrical habit of growth makes it an excellent evergreen for low borders 
and hedges or as a specimen evergreen. Hardy. The veronicas are mostly native 
of New Zealand from whence are derived scores of ornamental subjects including 
both deciduous and evergreen types ranging in height from a few inches to 
tree forms. Some of the handsomest of flowering evergreens are to be found 
among veronicas.
